SHANGHAI -- Rickie Fowler dropped by PGA of America headquarters in Florida with the Ryder Cup trophy last week as a way to let the employees share in the U.S. celebration. The trophy stayed behind. Fowler brought memories of Hazeltine all the way to China.While the Ryder Cup was a team victory, Fowlers own contributions gave him a shot of confidence going into the HSBC Champions.He was solid from tee to green, attacked the par 5s and holed one last birdie putt Thursday for a 7-under-par 65, leaving him one shot behind Rikard Karlberg of Sweden, who made an auspicious World Golf Championships debut with nine birdies in his round of 64.Fowler had never won a match in three previous Ryder Cups before teaming with Phil Mickelson in a fourballs victory in the opening session at Hazeltine. More special was Sunday, when he overcame Justin Rose in a tight match for a 1-up victory.For me, finding a way to get a win in a singles match was big, Fowler said. Its a team victory, but I felt like I did my part to help the team. Coming out of that with a 2-1 record instead of 1-2 was important to me.He accompanied the gold trophy to Arnold Palmers memorial service, and then after emerging from a two-week break in which he didnt set foot on a golf course, Fowler and Brooks Koepka stopped by the PGA of America with the cup.Fowler hasnt won since the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship in January, and his game hasnt felt right since he lost good chances to win the Phoenix Open the first week in February and the Wells Fargo Championship in early May.It wasnt that far off. He just needed time to tighten some loose habits, and this summer of majors and Olympics didnt allow for that. But coming off a big week at the Ryder Cup, I was excited to get back into the swing of things.I got some good work in last week, he said. Its tough to do with how busy the summer was. Its tough to break a little habit.He looked sharp again, and it helped to be in a group that was making plenty of birdies in the rain-softened conditions at Sheshan International. Fowler played alongside defending champion Russell Knox, who played bogey-free for a 66, and Paul Casey, who made an eagle on the par-5 14th hole on his way to a 67.Fowler missed only three fairways and one green. He was at his best on the par 5s, leaving himself a simple up-and-down for birdie on the 14th, and twice having eagle putts on the 18th and second holes. He missed about a 10-foot eagle putt on No. 18.Its always nice to start with 7 under, doesnt matter where youre at, Fowler said. I knew with the soft conditions they were going to try to tuck some pins. It was going to be very scorable if you drove it in the fairways, and I was able to do that. Played very well tee-to-green and made things a lot easier from there. Stress-free round. Simple round.It felt even easier to Karlberg, who hardly missed a shot until the end of his round. Shortly after Fowler finished his round, Karlberg surged ahead with three birdies in a four-hole stretch on the back nine and had a chance at the course record until his last two holes.He came up short and was nearly in a hazard on the par-3 17th, but his lie was good enough to get up-and-down. On the par-5 closing hole, Karlberg drove into a bunker, caught too much sand coming out, couldnt reach the green from the rough and failed to save par. It was his only blemish of the day and he had few complaints.Karlberg only twice before has played in a field this strong -- at the British Open each of the last two years, where he missed the cut both times. He looked at the HSBC Champions as another tournament and felt as though everything was going his way.It felt amazing, every part of the game, he said. Everything was so easy. It was just one of those days, a walk in the park.The soggy conditions werent nearly as difficult as the greens, which were damaged by excessive heat in the summer and massive rain over the last week. They were particularly bumpy toward the end of the round, but Karlberg stayed aggressive on them.Knox, Daniel Berger and Hideki Matsuyama were at 66, while Casey joined Bill Haas and Francesco Molinari at 67. Nineteen players in the 78-man field broke 70.Rory McIlroy wasnt among them. He made only two birdies in a round of 71, while U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson struggled to keep his driver in play and had only one birdie in his round of 74. Christian Miller Womens Jersey .

PARIS -- Although coach Unai Emery argues that his Paris Saint-Germain team is learning to live without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, theyre clearly not completely over him quite yet.While Ibrahimovic was again making a difference for his new club, scoring twice for Manchester United in a 4-1 English League Cup win against West Ham, PSG had to rely Wednesday night on a rare goal from captain Thiago Silva and an Edinson Cavani penalty for a 2-0 victory against Angers that lifted the defending champions to second in Frances Ligue 1, behind Nice.This was far less comfortable for PSG than the 5-1 humbling it inflicted on the Loire Valley side in their last league meeting in January. Ibrahimovic opened PSGs account in that game, another notch in his mind-boggling tally of 50 goals in 51 games in what proved to be his last season in the French capital.Hatem Ben Arfa was PSGs standout player this time, the wingers pace and guile injecting urgency into an often pedestrian PSG performance that was nonetheless enjoyed, despite the lack of goals from open play, by a Parc des Princes crowd in fine voice.A dribbling Ben Arfa foray, one of many, into the Angers box provoked a foul from defender Romain Thomas and a penalty that Cavaani converted decisively in the 66th minute.dddddddddddd The striker dedicated his 100th PSG goal to Chapecoense, peeling off his jersey to reveal a T-shirt bearing the logo of the Brazilian team devastated in a plane crash in Colombia.Silva outran his marker to meet Lucas corner kick and head the ball past Angers `keeper Mathieu Michel for PSGs opening goal, and his first of the season, in the 34th minute.The win kept PSG in touch with Nice, which needed a mesmerizing goal and skills from Younes Belhanda to beat Guingamp 1-0 and reclaim top spot from Monaco, which had been the overnight leader Tuesday after drawing 1-1 at Dijon. Nice now has 36 points from 15 matches. PSG has 35, with Monaco on 33.Belhanda danced right to wrong-foot the Guingamp defense, carving himself space to send a curling shot into the left-hand top corner of the goal, beyond the outstretched dive of Guingamp `keeper Karl-Johan Johnsson.He celebrated the early strike, in just the fifth minute, with somersaults.Lyon climbed to fourth place with a 6-0 thumping of Nantes, which slipped into the relegation zone.
