NAPLES, Fla. Reilly Smith Jersey . - Stacy Lewis has never been closer to a $1 million payoff, in points or in person.Lewis is leading the inaugural Race to CME Globe that will be decided this week in the LPGA Tours season finale. The top three players — Lewis, Inbee Park and Lydia Ko — need to win the CME Group Tour Championship to capture the $1 million bonus. In a promotional stunt Wednesday, the tour asked them to pose next to a glass case neatly packed with $100 bills that amount to the richest payoff in womens golf.Lewis wouldnt touch the glass case. She just couldnt.I dont even want to think about it, Lewis said.The LPGA Tour has never had so much on the line at one tournament, an ideal conclusion to one of its most dynamic seasons.And its not just about the money.Park goes into the final event of the year at No. 1 in the world, but not by much. Lewis is leading the race for LPGA player of the year, but only by three points. And her lead over Park in the Vare Trophy for the lowest scoring average is even thinner — just under one-hundredth of a point.Park or Lewis can sweep or share all the significant awards, and while the math can get a little complicated, the solution is simple.Winning takes care of everything.A lot of things are going on this week, Park said. When you come to the last few events, you feel relaxed. Its almost over, so you care less and try to enjoy it. But theres so many things going on, so many exciting things. Im glad Im in this position.The Race to CME Globe is similar to the FedEx Cup on the PGA Tour, except the numbers are easier and the payout substantially smaller.The points have been reset so that the top three players have to win the tournament to capture the bonus, and only the top nine have a mathematical shot at the $1 million. Karrie Webb is holding down the final spot. Webb would have to win and have Lewis finish out of the top 40, so its a long shot.Much more compelling than cash are the awards.Lewis has a three-point lead in LPGA player of the year. Her scoring average is 69.476, compared with 69.571 for Park. U.S. Womens Open champion Michelle Wie is not too far behind at 69.795. Depending on the scoring, this could be the first time the LPGA Tour has four players with a sub-70 scoring average.Stacy and Inbee are battling it out for player of the year, but it wasnt like they were the only two dominant players, Webb said. There have been years where those races have been close, but nothing else happened. There have been a lot of stories this year, which is great.Lewis looks to be relatively safe to win the money title with a lead of nearly $300,000. Park would have to win to surpass her. Lewis has a chance to become the first American in 20 years to win the Vare Trophy, player of the year and the money title. Beth Daniel swept them in 1994.Theres a lot on the line this week, Lewis said. It almost helps that there so many things on the line you cant pay attention to it. Just go out and try to win the golf tournament. Theres just too many numbers and scenarios. I just need to play good golf.The advantage might fall to Park, who recently replaced Lewis atop the world ranking and has nine consecutive top 10s. Lewis has slowed considerably in the second half of the season, with only four top 10s in her last 12 tournaments.It was so much easier on Park a year ago. She wrapped up player of the year before arriving to Florida for the season finale. She delivered a moving acceptance speech at the awards banquet during the tournament. The whole week was one big celebration, even though she didnt win. She didnt have to.Now its different.This could be a little bit more fun, Park said.Points were evenly distributed at all the tournaments — double for the majors — and then reset for the CME Group Tour Championship to give the top three the best chance. Park made it clear she didnt understand the points when she turned to an LPGA official and said, How exactly does it work?The most simple explanation was offered — win the tournament and take home $500,000 for the victory, $1 million for Race to CME Globe. No woman has ever won $1.5 million in a single week of golf.Park smiled.Thats fair, she said. Tomas Nosek Jersey . -- San Francisco 49ers offensive co-ordinator Greg Roman is a finalist to replace Joe Paterno at Penn State, his agent said Monday. Vegas Golden Knights Jerseys . His head snapped back from the impact and hit the floor. The All-Star power forward was all right afterward, a relief for the Minnesota Timberwolves. http://www.goldenknightssale.com/authentic-max-pacioretty-golden-knights-jersey/ . On the eve of the 2013-14 NBA season, he can finally take a step back and allow his team to do the talking.LAKE FOREST, Ill. - Multiple reports say the Chicago Bears are benching quarterback Jay Cutler and going with Jimmy Clausen.ESPN first reported Wednesday that the Bears were switching quarterbacks, with Clausen getting the nod over Cutler for Sundays game against the Detroit Lions. The Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times, citing sources, also reported the switch.The Bears would not confirm the move.Coach Marc Trestman said earlier Wednesday he was not getting the most out of Cutler, but he did not mention benching the quarterback. He did not reveal the switch when asked about Monday Night Football analyst Jon Gruden calling for Clausen to relieve Cutler during Chicagos loss to New Orleans.Jon certainly has a right to his opinion, said Trestman, who for weeks defended Cutlers spot as the starter. And each and every week we go through our evaluations all the way around and as I said, Jons got a right to his opinion.Cutler is coming off what might have been his worst game of the season on Monday, completing 17 of 31 passes for 194 yards. He threw three interceptions and was sacked a season-high seven times in the 31-15 loss.He leads the NFL with 18 interceptions and 24 turnovers, certainly not what the Bears envisioned when they signed him to a seven-year contract after last season — or when they hired Trestman two years ago.The frustration has been mounting. Last week, offensive co-ordinator Aaron Kromer admitted he was a source behind a recent NFL Network report criticizing Cutler.Trestman arrived in Chicago with a reputation for getting the most out of quarterbacks. But it hasnt happened with Cutlerr this season. Mark Stone Golden Knights Jersey. I think thats evident I havent, up to this point, said Trestman, when asked if hes gotten the most of Cutler. Am I working at it? Yes. But weve seen moments, but we havent done it on a consistent basis. I cant hide from that. I havent been able and we havent been able to do the thing that we want to get done. Were working toward that. But the answer to that is obvious.Its not just Cutler who has struggled. There is a long list of reasons why the Bears are 5-9 and will miss the playoffs for the seventh time in eight years.Big changes could be coming after the season.Trestman might be coaching his final games, and there are questions about general manager Phil Emery. After all, he hired Trestman over Bruce Arians two years ago and put together a team that took a big step back after going 8-8 last season.Kromer and defensive co-ordinator Mel Tucker also could be gone.The defence has ranked among the leagues worst the past two seasons, but the biggest issue is the regression of the offence. The Bears have gone from second to 19th in scoring and have failed to hit the 30-point mark this year.But its not all about Jay. Its about our entire offence, working together to get it done, Trestman said.Clausen, the former Notre Dame star, has appeared in three games this season and attempted nine passes. He was 1-9 in 10 starts as a rookie with Carolina in 2010 and threw for 1,558 yards that year. Carolina then drafted Cam Newton.The Bears signed Clausen in June, and he beat out Jordan Palmer for the backup job.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
