WILLIAMSBURG, Va. -- Lizette Salas didnt have to wait long to be tested in her latest attempt at a breakthrough victory on the LPGA Tour. The challenge came on the first hole Sunday in the Kingsmill Championship, after she was overly cautious with her first putt, leaving it nearly 10 feet short of the cup with a sliding, downhill test to save par. She made it, the start of a day when she did little wrong on her way to a four-shot victory. "Yeah, that was a big putt just to start off the day," Salas said. "Downhill slider to the right. I mean, I even threw in a fist pump because I knew how important that was for me mentally and on a confidence standpoint." The 24-year-old Salas made it look easy the rest of the way, even while shooting just an even-par 71 on the River Course. Salas started the day with a three-shot lead, doubled it with birdies on the par-5 third and par-3 fifth. A bogey on the par-4 eighth was her only hiccup -- and only her third bogey in four rounds -- until she three-putted the par-3 17th. She finished at 13-under 271 and earned $195,000. Yani Tseng, Kraft Nabisco winner Lexi Thompson and Sarah Jane Smith tied for second. Salas was never really challenged in the final round on the River Course, and when her final putt fell on the 18th hole, she cupped her head in her hands and covered her face in celebration. Her winning moment was quickly interrupted, however, when four fellow players arrived and doused her with champagne, water and wine. The victory came after Salas flirted with victory several times in her three years on tour. It also came after she missed the cut two weeks ago and realized she needed to change her mental approach to give herself a fighting chance. "I felt like I wanted to be perfect all the time," she said. "I felt like I needed to play like a top tier golfer every week. Thats not it. Its about feeling confident. Golf is a sport where you cant control everything. ... I just took a step back and looked at golf differently. I just tried to have fun this week. That was the most important thing." This year, she tied for third in the season-opening event in the Bahamas and shared the lead after three rounds in the Kia Classic in her home state of California, but Anna Nordqvist closed with a 5-under 67 -- to Salas 70 -- to win by one. Last year, playing alongside winner Inbee Park in the final group of the Kraft Nabisco, Salas shot 79 to tie for 25th. Two weeks later, Salas lost a playoff to Suzann Pettersen in the LPGA LOTTE in Hawaii. Salas chunked her approach into the water on the first extra hole after closing with a tournament-record 62. The daughter of Mexican immigrants, Salas was introduced to the game when her father, the head mechanic at Azusa Greens west of Los Angeles, did some handyman jobs for the club pro and, instead of pay, asked him to teach his daughter to play. She went on to star at Southern California, where she was a four-time All-America selection and helped the Trojans win the 2008 NCAA title. The victory came on a rare weekend when her parents didnt come to the tournament, but watched from their home in California, and it brought tears to the eyes of Hall of Famer Nancy Lopez, who has been a mentor of sorts for Salas. "Im crying. Im so proud of her," Lopez said by telephone after watching the celebration on the green. "She looked great out there, just very confident and swinging great. ... Like she said on TV, she was ready. It was time." Salas expects "some tears of happiness" when she sees her parents Monday. Tseng, seeking her first victory since 2012, got within three with three birdies in a four-hole stretch on the back nine, but she finished with two pars and a double bogey for a 69, expanding Salas lead to five shots. Thompson had a 69, and Smith shot 66 -- the best round of the day. Tseng nearly made it very interesting at the par-5 15th, but her eagle putt stopped just short of the cup. "One more roll it will be in," she said. "I know if I make that I have a good chance." The tournament also featured a golf rarity, a double eagle. It was scored by Frenchwoman Joanna Klatten on No. 15. Klatten said her drive left her a perfect distance away for her 3-wood, and she had a feeling something great was coming. "Its intuition. I had a good feeling about that shot," she said. "Of course there is a little bit of luck in that."

Subban has picked the right time of the year to go on an offensive tear.Eoin Morgan believes strength of character is carrying England through a dramatic World Twenty20 after his side held their nerve against Sri Lanka to claim a semi-final spot. England are likely to face New Zealand in the last four after their third win in a row but, like their victories over South Africa and Afghanistan, this one could easily have gone the other way.Having posted a target of 172 thanks to Jos Buttler (66no) and Jason Roy (42), England reduced their opponents to 15 for four only for Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews to hit a classy half-century that got his side to within a couple of strikes of a shock reversal. Athers: Buttler unstoppable Michael Atherton says Jos Buttler is one of the most destructive players in the game Yet when the game reached its closing moments in Delhi, it was England who showed their steel.Chris Jordan turned in two brilliant overs at the death, taking three wickets for just 13 runs - with Joe Root taking a stunning catch off Dasun Shanaka that may have been the pivotal contribution. Stokes says the England players hard work has paid off after they booked their place in the semi-finals of the World T20 Sri Lanka still needed 15 off the last over and Ben Stokes was magnificent in the heat of the moment, giving up just four to rubber stamp a 10-run run.This gives us a great deal of confidence. I think in three of our wins weve had to show an immense amount of character, he said.This was completely different in the way we were way ahead of the game, had them four down quite early and then Angelo got them back into the game.It asked a completely different question of us. But we showed quite a lot, both with the bat and the ball. We showed we are capable of playing both smart cricket and aggressive cricket. Nasser Hussain reviews Englands 10-run win over Sri Lanka, helping them to reach the semi-finals of the ICC World T20 I think weve struggled to do that in the last six to eight months or so and its an area we are constantly trying to improve, but today went a long way to doing that.ddddddddddddMorgan had no shortage of key moments to reflect on and was keen to spread the praise among all of those who stood tall at vital times.They were in the game right until the end so Stokes last over was as crucial as it gets, he said. The Verdict panel discuss bowling at the death after England advanced into semi-finals Rootys catch gave us a huge lift. Wickets are priceless at that stage of the game and given that it didnt allow the batsmen to cross was an even bigger benefit really.As well as Jos innings I thought Jason was outstanding as well. He showed great composure and when he wanted to take someone down he showed complete commitment.Well take a lot of confidence from the overall performance. We can give it a couple of days to let the dust settle, reflect on what happened and take the absolute beauties into the semi-final.
