Adidas Superstar Scontate .Most of the LPGAs biggest names are taking the week off. Just 36 players, the smallest field of the season, will tee it up at the Club de Golf Mexico in Mexico City for the 72-hole, no-cut event. Three of the 36 are Mexican amateurs and only the top 20 finishers will earn ranking points.Defending champion Inbee Park of South Korea will not be on hand; she is still recuperating from a thumb injury.For the past couple months after the 2016 Rio Olympics, Ive been focusing on recovering from my left thumb injury, Park said in a statement. I had to put on a cast for about four weeks which was during the Evian Championship. So far, Im seeing some positive improvements on my rehab and Ive started to hit some balls. However, my injury is still not fully recovered. Im very cautious regarding my injury and if possible would like to take extra precautionary measures since the injury can negatively recur.Park may be among the missing but there are four past champions in the field however, including 2014 winner Christina Kim (United States), 2010 winner In-Kyung Kim (South Korea), 2009 winner Michelle Wie (United States) and 2008 champion Angela Stanford (United States).The field also includes Canadian Brooke Henderson, American Paula Creamer and Swedens Anna Nordqvist.Nordqvist in particular has something to play for this week. This is the final event before next weeks season-ending CME Group Tour Championship. A total of 72 players will qualify for that event, based on points; once the field has been determined the points will be reset.The top nine players in the points standings will have a mathematical chance to win the season long CME Race to the Globe.At the start of this week, Nordqvist is ranked 10th but she would move into the top nine with a top-20 finish here.

"The Sabres called for permission and I appreciate that, Im flattered, Dudley told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun of ESPN. CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Joel Berry II knows what awaits him this year at North Carolina.Hes coming off a big year in which his offensive output and floor game blossomed for a team that won the Atlantic Coast Conference championship and played for the NCAA title. And with four-year starter Marcus Paige gone, Berry enters his junior season looking like the top candidate to take Paiges role as the guy to entrust with a taking a big shot.Its something thats just a part of the game and just part of being here at this school, Berry said Tuesday during UNCs preseason media day. Theres times where its going to be on you to make a big shot. Im going to just try to approach it like I did last year: Im not going to try to force anything.If the ball is in my hand and I have the open shot, Im going to take it. But other than that, Im going to just try to do what I can to lead this team to victory and do whatever it takes.Berry was the Tar Heels No. 2 scorer last year (12.8 points) behind Associated Press All-American Brice Johnson inside. He was also the teams best outside shooter (38 percent from 3-point range) and played the point, leading the team in assists and steals as well as in free-throw percentage (86.7).But he had Paige roaming the backcourt alongside him and Johnson in the post all that time. The difference is now Berry will likely be at or near the top of every defensive scouting report, one of three returning starters from a team that reached the programs first Final Four since 2009.As Hall of Fame coach Roy Williams put it: Nobody left Marcus Paige to go guard Joel last year.

He shook off another frustrating game by taking over in the final 5 minutes of a league win against Georgia Tech.After shaky performances in losses to Louisville and Duke, Berry scored in double figures in 13 of the last 14 games, the exception being a 10-assist, 1-turnover game against Syracuse in the Final Four.Along the way, he was named MVP of the Tar Heels run to the first ACC Tournament title and scored 20 points -- including making all four of his 3-point tries -- in the loss to Villanova in the NCAA final.The burden on Berry to keep it going will only grow once the Tar Heels tip off the season Nov. 11 at Tulane.Whenever he competes, thats whenever hes at his best, fellow junior Justin Jackson said. What he did last year was great, we just need him to keep that going through this year.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at
