PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas -- Jessica Korda laughed about her winning up-and-down and being sprayed with shaving cream. She choked up, too, thinking about her cancer-stricken coach. The 20-year-old Korda won the season-opening Bahamas LPGA Classic on Sunday for her second tour title, holing a 6-foot birdie putt on the final hole to beat Stacy Lewis by a stroke. Korda recently started working again with Grant Price after struggling with a swing she felt led to left shoulder and wrist injuries. "Grant means so much to me," Korda said. "Hes so positive, and thats really kind of shown. Its given me a lot of confidence this week. His positivity, and hes like, Youre going to be ready for this week. Youre going to be ready for this week. ... Him being on the range and constantly kind of encouraging the positive in me, into my mind, it helped me so much." Price, Hall of Famer Nick Prices nephew, is fighting testicular cancer. "Ive known Grant since I was 15 years old, so I know how it is and whats going on," Korda said. "But first thing I did, and I asked him, I was like, Can you help me? And if you cant, its completely OK. Like, If you dont feel up to it, then its fine. Like, I dont mind, but I need to know if youre going to be OK first. And thats how every practice started." Korda closed with a 7-under 66 for a 19-under 273 total at Atlantis Resorts Ocean Club. The third-ranked Lewis parred the final four holes -- two of them par 5s -- for a 66. "I only birdied the 18th hole once this week and that made the difference," Lewis said. "Three of the four days I went over the green to the same place, so obviously that wasnt the place to be. But you are not doing a lot wrong if you a finish second. And thats what Ill take away from this week." Korda tied Lewis for the lead with a 12-foot birdie putt on the par-3 17th, then got up-and-down for birdie on the par-5 18th. Kordas 4-iron approach on 18 scampered through the green and up against the grandstand. She took relief from the grandstand and, with an official and a TV announcer holding up cords that would have interfered with her stroke, putted under the wires to set up the winning birdie. "That was different," Korda said. "It was like jump rope. ... It was like Double Dutch. I was jumping over wires with people holding onto them. It was really funny." She passed on a drop that would have moved her away from the cables. "It wasnt a hard decision at all," Korda said. "I felt I had a good lie there. It looked too difficult on either side, so I just stayed right where I was. I remember when I had the pleasure of playing with Jack Nicklaus, he told me a bad putt is always better than a bad chip." After the winning putt, she was sprayed with shaving cream -- courtesy of tournament sponsor Pure Silk. "I smell really good. It smells really good," said Korda, whose father, Petr, won the 1998 Australian Open tennis tournament and mother, Regina Raichrtova, also played pro tennis. Korda earned $195,000 and is projected to jump from 40th to 26th in the world ranking. She also won the 2012 Womens Australian Open in the first event of the season. "Its unbelievable," Korda said. "I dont know, maybe I pay attention more to detail, and Im more relaxed out here. But whatever it is, I need to figure it out and do it more often." Lewis birdied six of the first eight holes, then dropped a stroke on the par-4 ninth. She birdied the par-5 11th and par-4 14th to reach 18 under, but closed with four straight pars. On 18, her flop shot came up short and her 15-foot birdie try stopped inches from the cup. "Its very frustrating," Lewis said. "The 18th hole has gotten me the last couple tournaments." Paula Creamer, paired with Korda all four days, had a 69 to tie for third with Na Yeon Choi, Lizette Salas and Pornanong Phatlum at 16 under. Phatlum finished with a 67, Salas had a 71, and Choi shot 72. Lydia Ko, the 16-year-old New Zealander making her first start as an LPGA Tour member, had a 68 to tie for seventh at 15 under. She won the Canadian Womens Open the last two years as an amateur. Diontae Johnson Youth Jersey .

Massa, who is in his eighth season with Ferrari, posted the announcement on his official Twitter page and Instagram. "From 2014 I will no longer be driving for Ferrari," the 32-year-old Brazilian wrote. "I would like to thank the team for all the victories and incredible moments experienced together. Thank you also to my wife and all of my family, to my fans and all my sponsors. From each one of you I have always received a great support! "Right now I want to push as hard as possible with Ferrari for the remaining 7 races. For next year, I want to find a team that can give me a competitive car to win many more races and challenge for the championship which remains my greatest objective!" Prior to joining Ferrari in 2006, Massa drove for Sauber in his first three F1 seasons. He has scored 11 victoriies and made 36 podium appearances in 184 career grand prix starts.dddddddddddd. Massa finished only one point behind Lewis Hamilton for the F1 title in 2008. Hamilton drove for McLaren at the time. Massas 2009 season was curtailed when he sustained multiple head injuries during a high-speed qualifying crash in the Hungarian Grand Prix. He scored six victories during the 08 season but has not won a grand prix since then. There is much speculation now that Kimi Raikkonen will rejoin Ferrari for the 2014 season after driving for the Italian team from 2007-09. Raikkonen won the F1 world championship in 07. After leaving the team at the end of the 09 season, he competed in the World Rally Championship for two years before his return to F1 in 2012 to drive for Lotus. Saubers Nico Hulkenberg is also being considered as Massas replacement for next year. Last Sunday, Massa finished fourth in the Italian Grand Prix, which is the home race for Ferrari. ' ' '
