Charley Hull may have missed Justin Roses moment of Olympic glory, but the 20-year-old is still benefiting from his experience as she seeks to complete a golden British double.Hull only arrived in Rio on Sunday evening, several hours after Rose had won the first Olympic golf gold medal for 112 years following a thrilling duel with Open champion Henrik Stenson.However, Roses caddie Mark Fulcher made sure to pass his extensive notes on the course at Reserva de Marapendi to Team GB leader Jamie Spence, who in turn made them available to Hull and teammate Catriona Matthew.And the move has certainly paid dividends as Hull and Matthew both carded second rounds of 66 on Thursday to lie two and five shots respectively off the lead held by Koreas seven-time major champion Inbee Park.Hull, who birdied the last three holes and six in total, insists she is approaching the Olympics like any other tournament, but has always raised her game when representing Britain or Europe.I enjoy it. Its a lot of fun, said Hull, who was part of the winning Curtis Cup side in 2012 and the victorious Solheim Cup in team 2013, as well as scoring four points from five matches in a losing cause in 2015.Im kind of representing my country every week when Im playing, but this week you know youre a part of the team, so its good fun. I really enjoy playing in major competitions and you cant get much better than this.Being on an Olympic leaderboard is pretty cool but Im just trying to treat this like any other event so I dont make myself too nervous.Matthew had been somewhat disappointed to miss a number of chances in her opening 71, but the 46-year-old Scot made up for it on day two with six birdies and a solitary bogey.Im pleased with how I played today, she told Press Association Sport. I drove it a bit better today so I gave myself more chances and made some putts so obviously Im very pleased to be keeping in contention.I think they were maybe expecting more wind today and were a bit generous with some of the pins, but youve still got to play well. Im pleased with where I am, edging closer to the lead and hopefully on Saturday I can still be in there with a chance.Park, who has been struggling with a thumb injury this season, carded a second consecutive 66 for a halfway total of 10 under par and one-shot lead over American Stacy Lewis, who fired 11 birdies, one bogey and a double bogey in a superb 63.Lewis, who is on an extended honeymoon in Rio after marrying University of Houston golf coach Gerrod Chadwell on August 6, said: I probably left the range a little bit mad, the swing not really there, not where it needed to be.I dont know if something seemed to click and I got some more confidence as the day went on. Any time you see some putts go in, it frees up the swing a little bit more. But I didnt expect this at all.Im truthfully more excited about the diving I get to go and watch this afternoon than the round I played. Im looking forward to doing all this other stuff versus the golf, and thats what this week is about for us.On a day of low scoring, Irelands Leona Maguire rebounded from an opening 74 with a superb 65, while team-mate Stephanie Meadow recorded a 66 following a disappointing 77 on Wednesday.Tee to green I played really well again but holed some more putts today which was key, said Maguire, who carded five birdies in six holes from the ninth.I spent a while on the putting green on Wednesday and had a chat with Paul (McGinley, Irish team captain), but I didnt try and dwell on it too much, I just tried to come out this morning all guns blazing and shoot a low one.Pauls been great. I could not have asked for anybody better. Hes so astute and hes believed in this from the get-go. He did his very best for the guys last week and hes doing even more for us this week. He leaves no stone unturned. http://www.bearsrookiestore.com/Bears-Mitchell-Trubisky-Jersey/ . A lawyer for MLB, Matthew Menchel, confirmed Wednesday the league dropped its case against Biogenesis of America, its owner Anthony Bosch and several other individuals. The lawsuit had accused Biogenesis and Bosch of conspiring with players to violate their contracts by providing them with banned performance-enhancing substances. http://www.bearsrookiestore.com/Hats/ . Malkin got tangled up with Detroits Luke Glendening early in the third period and his left skate took the brunt of collision with the boards behind Pittsburghs net. http://www.bearsrookiestore.com/Bears-Mark-Sanchez-Jersey/ . Halladay signed a one-day contract with the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday that allowed the veteran right-hander to retire as a member of team with which he broke into the majors and spent the bulk of his distinguished 16-year career. http://www.bearsrookiestore.com/Bears-Jim-Mcmahon-Jersey/ . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. http://www.bearsrookiestore.com/Bears-Zach-Miller-Jersey/ .S. Open champion Justin Rose birdied the first hole with a blind shot he hit to a foot of the pin, and he stayed in front Tuesday until he completed a 4-under 67 for a two-shot lead over Jason Dufner in PGA Grand Slam of Golf. LAS VEGAS -- Interim UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has been pulled from his title-unification bout against Daniel Cormier at UFC 200 on Saturday, after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency informed Jones of a potential doping violation Wednesday.UFC president Dana White announced the move Wednesday during an impromptu news conference at the MGM Grand.Jones tested positive for a banned substance in an out-of-competition sample taken June 16 by USADA, said Jeff Novitzky, UFCs vice president of athlete health and performance. USADA administers UFCs anti-drug policy.It is important to note that under the UFC anti-doping policy, theres a full, fair legal-review process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed, Novitzky said.Novitzky added that there wasnt time for a full review before the scheduled bout.White said he has not spoken to Jones yet and that he wasnt aware whether the substance in question was a performance-enhancing drug.A heavyweight fight between Brock Lesnar and Mark Hunt will now headline UFC 200, which takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena.Jones has the right to appeal any positive test. He has never tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs but did test positive for traces of cocaine before a fight against Cormier in January 2015.Jones also served a suspension from April to October after his involvement in a hit-and-run accident.Under UFCs anti-doping program, which went into effect in July 2015, a positive test for a performance-enhancing drug carries a standard two-year suspension.In an interview with ESPN last week, Jones had expressed hope he could turn his legacy into a positive one.I want to show the world that you can be down but never out, Jones said. I want to be a story where someone risked losing so much but ultimately turned everything around. A lot of times you hear these stories about athletes who ruined their career, and they go away and no one knows what happened to them or theyre bankrupt or they end up in jail. They just ruined a great career. I want to be one of the few stories you hear where I was ruining things but ultimately turned things around and became a hero. Thats my vision for the way my story is going to play out.ddddddddddddWhite said he would like to find Cormier, the defending light heavyweight champion, a new opponent, but that would be difficult because of the timing.When you have the biggest, baddest fight card ever assembled, you know, it doesnt sting as bad when you lose a fight, White said. But it stings real bad for Daniel Cormier. This is devastating to him, his family, and Id like for him to fight another guy.Cormier appeared next to White during the news conference.Ive trained hard and long, Cormier said. If anybody would fight, I would fight. Why not? I understand the difficult task it would be to find me a fight on two days. Im willing to fight up, put on some weight, 225, 220 [pounds]. Ill fight. It doesnt matter. I just cant fight a really big guy, because Ive been shrinking my body.Cormier said he would put in the effort and would accept a new fight if UFC could find one that made sense.Ive worked really hard to prepare for this, Cormier said. You take care of what you need to take care of. Thats what I did. More than anything, its really disappointing.Cormier said having USADA as UFCs partner in the administration of drug testing changes a lot of things and that UFC made a conscious decision to bring in USADA.They didnt have to do this, Cormier said. They decided to clean up the sport. Youre going to have casualties.Cormier said he got a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach when White texted him Wednesday, asking him whether he could make it to the news conference.This guy always gives me good news, Cormier said of White. You know, this guy calls you with a seven-figure check -- Dude, youre rich now -- you know, he calls you with good news. And the mood didnt feel very good. It was scary. So I came here, and I was actually early. Its probably the first time Ive ever been early. I needed to know. But hes usually the good-news guy. And today he had to give me some pretty bad news.Information from ESPN senior writer Arash Markazi and The Associated Press was used in this report.
