IBARAKI, Japan -- Shanshan Feng shot an 8-under 64 on Saturday to take the TOTO Japan Classic lead, putting the Chinese star in position to close the Asian swing with consecutive victories.?Feng birdied the final two holes for a one-stroke advantage over Ariya Jutanugarn, the 20-year-old Thai player who leads the LPGA Tour with five victories and would wrap up the player of the year award with a victory.I still missed a few shots, but I think right now my confidence level is really high, so I know how to score, Feng said. I think that the reason that I struggled in the first half of the year, I was actually hitting the ball really well, but I just didnt know how to score. Now my putting is working and even if I leave myself a 15-footer, I feel comfortable to make it. I feel a lot more comfortable and confident on the course.Jutanugarn had a 68 on another chilly day at Taiheiyo Club in the tours first tournament in the Tokyo area since 1991.Im just going to try to have fun and enjoy tomorrow, Jutanugarn said.Feng won last week in steamy conditions in Malaysia.

After winning Sunday, she took off Monday and Tuesday.I went to Tokyo, Feng said. I love Japanese food, so I went to my favorite restaurant and went shopping. I spent some money on Monday, so I think thats why I have to try hard on the weekend to make my money back.The five-time LPGA Tour winner two-putted for birdie on the par-5 17th, then capped the bogey-free round with a 10-footer on the par-4 18th that caught the left edge, circled the cup and fell in to get her to 11-under 133. She birdied three of the first six and had three in a row on Nos. 12-14.Im happy about the score, but theres still one day to go, Feng said. Im not going to do anything different.

I never have all the spectators be nice like this.The top-ranked Ko was tied for 52nd at 1 over after a 71.I putted better today, but it wasnt overly great, Ko said.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- In unfamiliar territory in November, Minnesota has a piece of the lead in the Big Ten West and faces tough opponents in the final stretch.Tied with Nebraska and Wisconsin atop the division at 4-2, Minnesota closes out the regular season on the road against the No. 21 Cornhuskers, hosts Northwestern and travels to the No. 7 Badgers.Minnesota is 7-2 overall and has won four straight, with the losses coming against Penn State and Iowa. The Gophers have yet to play a ranked team. Still, win out and theyll be in the Big Ten Championship game for the first time.The Gophers havent even won a share of the Big Ten since 1967. They got close in 2014 when they went into the final game with a chance to go to the championship game, but were denied by Wisconsin.Weve got a great group of seniors, and we felt like if we played well we could get to November and be in that discussion still, Minnesota coach Tracy Claeys said Tuesday on the Big Ten coaches teleconference.It makes it exciting to get into November and you still have a chance, he said. I figured with the West teams playing five road games that the winner was probably going to have two losses. We burnt ours up right away in those first two, but our kids have responded and just kept fighting and winning each week.BANGED UPNorthwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald noted how the road gets tougher in November when players are getting banged up and worn down. The Wildcats (4-5, 3-3 Big Ten) dropped a 21-7 game against Wisconsin last Saturday, one week after taking Ohio State down to the final drive before losing 24-20.Everybody goes to November beat up mentally and physically, and it comes down to which team shows up physically, mentally and executes in November, Fitzgerald said. Its not a sexy time of the year, man, this is grind it out, get it done, and obviously were off to a slow start losing our last two.He said November is where depth often gets tested because of injuries.I think some schools have a few more bullets than maybe other schools, and you have to find a way just to gget one more play and find a way to win, he said.ddddddddddddBADGERS TWEETWisconsin coach Paul Chryst said he was proud of the players who took to Twitter on Monday to post a statement about racial injustices on campus. That message came after the game on Oct. 29 Wisconsin when a fan donned a Halloween costume depicting President Barack Obama with a noose around his neck.The statement was shared by several black players on the team along with other black student-athletes. In part, it read: This incident was yet another blow and reminder that there are people in this community that may not value diverse populations.Weve got smart student-athletes and I applaud them for expressing themselves, and the way they did it, Chryst said. And I think a lot of thought went into it, and its out of love and respect for this university. They want to make it better, and I admire them. Its not easy, right? They could just sit back and say, `Its not my job, its not my responsibility.ARMSTRONGS STATUSNebraska quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr.s status for Saturdays game against Minnesota is questionable after apparently suffering a concussion last week against Ohio State.Armstrong was knocked out briefly during the second quarter after his head bounced off the turf while being tackled by Ohio State safety Malik Hooker. He was strapped to a backboard and taken to a hospital. He returned to the sidelines in street clothes in the third quarter.Tommys doing well, but as we all know he will go through that whole protocol (for) a head injury, and we dont know what that means yet as far as being available for the weekend, Nebraska coach Mike Riley said. It goes through the process, and well go day by day with it.So far, its pretty well on track. So were hopeful, but were not for sure at all.--More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.---Follow Mitch Stacy at http://twitter.com/mitchstacy ' ' '
