Kerr, Lincicome, Salas share lead at Open

KOHLER, Wis. (AP) ? Although plenty of athletes have used sports to lift themselves up from difficult backgrounds, Lizette Salas' path to the pros isn't the sort of story that's often heard in golf.

The 22-year-old Salas shot a 3-under 69 in the first round of the U.S. Women's Open on Thursday, grabbing a share of the lead along with fellow Americans Cristie Kerr, the 2007 Open winner, and Brittany Lincicome.

Salas is the daughter of Mexican immigrants from Azusa, Calif., a city with a history of gang issues outside Los Angeles. With help from her family, she used golf to earn a scholarship to Southern California ? and now, a spot on the LPGA Tour and a share of the Open lead.

With her family on hand to cheer her on this week, Salas sees her play as a tribute to her parents.

"My dad still works long hours out on the golf course, my mom also," Salas said. "So this is just my way of repaying them for all their sacrifice and all their work they've done for me."

Third-ranked Ai Miyazato, the Japanese star coming off a victory Sunday in the LPGA Tour event in Arkansas, was a stroke back along with 17-year-old Lexi Thompson, Jennie Lee and Beatriz Recari. Seven players ? including No. 5 Na Yeon Choi and No. 6 Suzann Pettersen ? shot 71 in the nearly 100-degree heat and high humidity that turned Blackwolf Run, a challenging 6,944-yard course in central Wisconsin, into a boiler.

Defending champion So Yeon Ryu finished with a 74. Se Ri Pak, who won the Open at Blackwolf Run in 1998, shot a 72.

Top-ranked Yani Tseng shot a 74. She would become the youngest player to complete a career Grand Slam with a victory this weekend.

Michelle Wie also opened with a 74, and second-ranked Stacy Lewis shot 77.

Cheyenne Woods, Tiger Woods' niece, had a 75.

Salas began playing at age 7 thanks in large part of her father, Ramon, who is the head mechanic at a golf course and offered to do odd jobs for a local pro if he was willing to teach Salas how to play.

"He didn't have that much money to pay for lessons because they're really expensive," Salas said. "I didn't have golf shoes. I didn't know how to dress, nothing like that. They worked out a deal where my dad did handyman favors for them. My dad fixed cars on the side, and that's how I got started. Just been swinging ever since. Haven't stopped."

As Salas began playing in tournaments, she and her father would drive long distances and sleep in the car to save money. Even now that Salas is a professional, the family still sometimes travels the country in its high-mileage 2006 Toyota Tacoma.

"We like that truck," Salas said. "It's red and it has 'USC dad' on it. I think it has over 90,000 miles on it. We've had some great memories, laughed and shed tears in that truck. And I often slept in it. It's been a good, it's been a fun adventure, and just going to keep going and making more experiences."

Salas' hard work, and the sacrifices her family made, paid off when she earned her spot on the LPGA Tour by winning a nine-way, three-hole playoff for the final qualifying spot.

"My dad is like, 'It's OK, it's OK.' But my mom is like, 'No, no, no, no. You're going to go out there and you're going to get that card,'" Salas said. "And just birdie, birdie, birdie. That 18-footer on the last hole, I knew where I stood. I knew I had to make it. It was probably the slowest putt of my life, but it was great. All the emotions of all the hard work we've done as a family and all the sacrifice my dad has done and my mom. It was just a great moment for us."

Salas began with a birdie on the 348-yard, par-4 first hole, with a 9-iron approach that left her with a 7-foot putt. It was one of her four birdies on the day. Her only bogey came on the 375-yard, par-4 11th.

The other leaders have an edge in terms of experience.

Kerr is a 14-time winner on the LPGA tour and the 2007 Open winner. But she was winless in 2011 after winning at least one tournament in each of the previous seven years.

Kerr, who birdied three of her first seven holes and made it through the day without a bogey, feels a different level of energy at the Open.

"This is where I want to perform," she said. "This is the stage I want to perform on."

The long-hitting Lincicome has five career LPGA tour wins, including a major win in the 2009 Kraft Nabisco Championship.

Going into this week, breaking par didn't seem possible at Blackwolf Run.

"Obviously today shooting 3 under I have to kind of rethink my strategy, and obviously under par is very doable," Lincicome said. "If you can keep it in the fairway, hit it in the right spot on the green and I made a couple long putts today which was nice."

Beyond the challenges posed by the course's layout, plus the heat and humidity, players also had to stay focused during rounds that took as long as six hours to complete.

"Maybe just the heat, and it was slowing a few people down," Thompson said.

Several players said the heat affected their concentration.

"You're not thinking 100 percent clearly all the time," said Paula Creamer, the 2010 winner who had a 73.

Meena Lee, in the group at 71, acknowledged that the heat was getting to her.

"It was just too hot for me," Lee said, through a translator.

Get all hot and steamy in the shower with your Android device - wait, what?

We can control our music from our Android devices. And our TVs. Open garage doors. Play instruments. And now, control your steam shower. If you've got a ThermaSol ProSeries, you apparently can control the start of your "steam session," including setting the time and temperature, so long as you're connected to your home's router. You also can control light and music settings, and it'll hook up to Pandora, Spotify and other streaming services for your steaming enjoyment. And it'll also run the diagnostic and maintenance features, which we presume is some sort of self-cleaning mode and that it doesn't just call over the local plumber's crack.

We're currently in the midst of a no-holds barred cage match to see who gets to demo this one. Rubber ducky not included.

Big boxes try to slow down 'showrooming'

Shannon Stapleton / Reuters/Shannon Stapleton

The inside of a Best Buy store in New York is seen.

By Roland Jones

Big box retailers such as Best Buy have suffered from ?showrooming,? where customers come into a store to find products they want to buy, but then walk out and purchase them for discounted prices at an online retailer, such as Amazon.com.

Now, as part of a new turnaround strategy, Best Buy, the nation?s largest electronics retailer by revenue, is fighting back, and to do so it?s reportedly taking a page out of Apple?s retailing play book.

At a test store near its headquarters in Richfield, Minn., the electronics retailer is offering a Solution Central help desk staffed by its Geek Squad division employees, which is similar to the Genius Bar found at Apple?s retail stores, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

Best Buy is adopting other Apple-like retailing strategies, such as letting customers pay for products in several locations in the store rather than forcing them to line up at checkouts, the Journal said, and the recently-opened store is less concerned with displaying every Best Buy product and more with ?connecting customers with employees who can answer questions or help program equipment.?

Best Buy will close 50 of its 1,100 U.S. big-box stores and convert 60 of the rest to the new format, the report said. These stores are about 20 percent smaller than the 58,000 square feet common at traditional Best Buy stores. In the new-format stores, Best Buy devotes less space to big TV sets, which are seeing waning sales, and more space to tablets, e-readers and cell phones, for which Best Buy has seen its market share grow, the paper said.

Best Buy?s new store format is just a first step in dealing with the retailer?s long-standing problems, interim Chief Executive Mike Mikan told the paper. But a strategy change at Best Buy is sorely-needed, retail experts say, as the electronics retailer has struggled in recent years in the face of fierce competition from online retailers such as Amazon.com.

Rob Enderle, an analyst with Enderle Group, said the Best Buy store redesign is a good first step, but the retailer also needs to think about improving the locations of its stores and the products that draw people into those stores.

Opening up the stores will make them friendlier, but the problem is people are going into Best Buy stores right now and they?re choosing to buy the products online instead, he said.

Best Buy should move away from strip-mall locations where many of Best Buy?s stores are currently located. These locations are seeing declining foot traffic, he said.

Also, Best Buy needs to work on improving the products it offers visitors to its stores -- they should be unique and appealing, he said.

?This is a step in the right direction, and sometimes it?s all about direction and future [for retailers], but you need all three steps,? he said.

While Best Buy?s revenue has remained flat over the past three years, its profit fell sharply in the past year, ended March 3, 2012, with many asking if the electronics retailer can take the steps needed to prevent it going the same way as the likes of now-bankrupt electronics retailers such as Circuit City.

Adding to Best Buy?s troubles is news that founder and former board chairman Richard Schulze is exploring a takeover of the company. Schulze resigned as chairman earlier this month amid a scandal involving former CEO Brian Dunn. The board criticized Schulze for not reporting Dunn?s inappropriate conduct with a subordinate.

Especially challenging to Best Buy is overhauling its bricks-and-mortar structure. Similar to other big-box retailers, Best Buy suffers from a disadvantage over its rivals because of the cost of maintaining stores. It spends $6 billion on bricks-and-mortar locations on a $50 billion sales base, putting the company at a 10 percent price disadvantage to all online competition. The challenge for Best Buy is to reduce that disadvantage.

Other big retailers are fighting back against showrooming, the New York Times reported Thursday, which has cost traditional retailers millions in sales.

Wal-Mart, Macy?s, Sears, the Container Store and Best Buy are turning their stores into extensions of their own online operations, the paper reports. These retailers are stepping up efforts to add online return centers, pickup locations, free shipping outlets, payment booths and even drive-through customer service centers for online sales to their brick-and-mortar buildings, the Times report said.

The news comes as retailers report tepid sales numbers, particularly at big-box retailers. A report Thursday showed shoppers reduced spending in June in the face of a deteriorating economy. Results from the likes of Costco, Target and Macy?s missed estimates.

Since hitting a recent high in late 2010, shares of Best Buy have lost 50 percent of their value.

Best Buy was not immediately available to comment.
