Mi Hyang Lee wins Blue Bay for first LPGA victory in 8 years

South Korea's Mi Hyang Lee overcame a pair of double bogeys on the front nine and recorded a birdie on the final hole to seize a one-stroke win at the Blue Bay LPGA on Sunday at Hainan Island, China.

Lee, 32, won her third LPGA title and first since capturing the 2017 Women's Scottish Open after firing a 1-over-par 73 on Sunday to finish with an 11-under 277 at the Jian Lake Blue Bay Golf Course.

She finished one stroke better than China's Weiwei Zhang (69 on Sunday), who failed to hold the lead after a bogey on the 17th hole.

"Still kind of a little bit shake my hands," Lee said of her nerves. "First hole make birdie, but like two double front nine and then finish 4-over so was almost give up, but my caddie just kept telling me keep fighting, fighting. I really fought by myself, just didn't give up, and then I just got to make a lot of birdies, so I think amazing. Feels amazing, yes."

Lee became only the second South Korean to win the Blue Bay LPGA, joining 2015 champion Sei Young Kim

Auston Kim (71) made three birdies over the final five holes to reside in a third-place tie with Aditi Ashok (72) of India.

"I'm proud of the three birdies that I made coming in, but it really (stinks) to play that well Thursday (67), Friday (68), and not get it done. Really frustrating," Kim said. "I hope moving forward I won't make the same mistakes that I did this week and play better."

Lee saw her three-stroke lead evaporate following double bogeys on the fifth and ninth holes before making birdies on the 10th and 13th holes.

She took advantage of Zhang's misstep on the 17th hole by hitting the pin on her third shot at the par-5 18th hole. She tapped in from 2 feet out to win the tournament.

"I just keep watching the scoreboard. I think that's why this -- that give me a lot of confidence," Lee said. "I just keep making one more birdie, two more birdie, and so it was -- yeah, just keep watching it, the scoreboard. I knew Weiwei and Rio (Takeda of Japan) play well, too."

Takeda (73), the defending champion, tied for fifth with South Koreans Hye-Jin Choi (74) and A Lim Kim (73) and China's Yu Liu (74).

Christina Applegate ‘cringes’ at Kelly Bundy’s ‘full rock s---’ status: ‘Wouldn’t have a shot in hell today’

Christina Applegate knows better than anyone why her character Kelly Bundy inthe sitcom"Married... with Children" was such a success.

In her recently published book,"You with the Sad Eyes,"Applegate explained that Bundy was an icon in the '80s because she was a "full rock s---." Looking back on old scenes now, the 54-year-old "cringes" at how fans used to lust after her rebellious teenage character.

"I played Kelly as a tease and as a virgin — which is why I think viewers loved her rather than hated her. One of the creators, Michael Moye, and I talked about this regularly. We agreed to keep Kelly virginal and have the 'Kelly is a tramp' opinion come solely from her brother, Bud," Applegate wrote.

"By season five, my God: I could walk into the living room, as I did in episode 13, 'The Godfather,' in a leather fringed jacket over a short red shirt and there would be a five-second break in the scene while the crowd hollered lustily at me," she wrote. "I look at all this now and cringe. The show was indeed broad, and lewd, and it wouldn't have a shot in hell of being made these days. That's a good thing: It's hard enough for young women to thrive in a world of appearances."

Applegate explained that she was aware that her character was written in a provocative way and has no ill-will for the crew.

"Sure, it was always part of the show that I would be an object for men to leer at, but I wanted to wear those Kelly Bundy dresses. And as hard as it may be to believe, I was genuinely innocent of my effect on people.I was just a kid," she wrote.

In the book, Applegate emphasized that Bundy could not be further from who she was at the time. She was 16 when she took on the role as Kelly Bundy whose main goal was to tease boys while she "waited until the propitious date of 8/8/88 to have sex for the first time, as diligently noted in my diary."

Applegate included an excerpt from her teenage diary: "Guess what? You know when I was talking about how I needed to have sex? Well, I did. And I did the dirty deed with the only person I would want to do it for the first time with anyway. I just made love to [name redacted] trice. It hurt like a motherf---er. But oh well, it's over with."

In her book, Applegate wrote that she already struggled with body image issues before taking on the role as Bundy for 11 seasons, and it only worsened throughout the course of the show.

"I dug myself into a hole with that character, though, because I had to be skinny. I had a vision of the specific clothes I wanted her to wear, and to wear those clothes — clothes that would show if you ate something as tiny as a single grape — I had to lean even deeper intomy eating disorder,"she wrote, explaining that she was anorexic.

"If I was going to eat something as horrendously huge as a bagel, say, I would scoop it out and maybe have half of it, or half of a half," Applegate continued. "That would be my food intake for an entire day. Sometimes I'd punish myself and wouldn't eat at all. I was a size 0, and the costume people on 'Married… with Children' would often have to take my clothes in. I was bone, bone, bone."

Applegate added that she worked so hard on her body, but she was "never satisfied."

"There were days when I'd go to a spin class, then work out with my trainer, then go to a dance class for two and a half more hours, always chasing the unobtainable, abusing my body in the service of a quest for perfection that was as damaging as any addiction," she wrote.

Applegate's memoir, "You with the Sad Eyes," hit the shelves on March 3.

MGK fan falls through hole in stage during London show: 'The coolest thing you could have ever f---ing done'

Machine Gun Kellywitnessed an unfortunate accident at one of his shows on Thursday.

The "Bad Things" singer-rapper was performing at his concert at the O2 Arena in London when he saw a fan suddenly fall through a hole in the stage. The incident, which was captured in multiple fanvideos posted to TikTok, occurred during a moment when several attendees joined MGK on stage to walk with him during his song "Bloody Valentine."

After the musician shouted "yes, my loves!" the fan followed behind him, but then plunged into the gap and seemed to hit her head on the way down.

"Oh my God! Hold up," MGK said upon seeing the tumble. He then sang the lyrics "I can't hide" but changed the next line to "I really hope that you're fine" as he helped the fan back up onto the stage.

"Are you okay?" he asked the fan as she returned to her feet. She responded affirmatively.

"You are?" the singer replied. "Let's f---ing go!"

After the track concluded, the fanattempted to apologizeto MGK.

"Oh, dude. No, no, no. Sorry?" he responded. "That was the coolest thing you could have ever f---ing done. This is the first time I've ever sold out the O2. That's the first time anyone's ever fell off the stage, dude. Let's f---ing go."

The musician then gave the fan a gift to commemorate the occasion.

"Okay, you know what? I wear this hat every f---ing day," he said while holding up a baseball cap, noting that a friend gave it to him. "It's special, but f--- that, it's yours."

MGK then hugged the fan and continued performing.

Entertainment Weeklyhas reached out to a representative for MGK for comment and further information.

Later in the concert,SNLalumPete Davidsontook the stageto help perform MGK's 2020 track "Roll the Windows Up." The comedian rapped the second half of the song's first verse, beginning with the line "I'm in quarantine, but the weed man pulls up here / I got a hundred packs of backwoods."

MGKconsiders Davidson a close friend. "I don't have any siblings, you know, so when you see someone like Pete — that's like my little brother," the musician said onThe Howard Stern Showin 2020. "He's my best friend, too, but also like a little brother. You have the opportunity to live that dynamic of having a sibling. 'Cause I was an only child, so, obviously, to me, that's like the dream: having a brother or a sister. Pete's like that for me."

Atle Lie McGrath leads in first World Cup slalom since his Olympic exit into the forest

KRANJSKA GORA, Slovenia (AP) — From a course-side forest at the Olympics back into the leader's box in the World Cup.

Slovenia World Cup Alpine Skiing

Atle Lie McGrathwas fastest in the first run of a slalom Sunday, his first race in the discipline since an emotional exit from an Olympics race three weeks ago that he was set to win.

As he waited at the start gate Sunday, the World Cup television broadcast showed a quiet empty space in a nearby forest — a reminder of where the Norwegian racer famously went to cool off alone in Bormio, Italy, after failing to finish his second run.

It was a vivid image from theMilan Cortina Olympicsand McGrath made another strong impression with a slick finish to be 0.17 seconds faster than Lucas Pinheiro Braathen.

The childhood friends also are dueling for the season-long World Cup slalom title that will be decided at the last race on March 24 in Norway, where they grew up.

The Vermont-born McGrath leadsPinheiro Braathen, the Olympic giant slalom championracing for Brazil, by just one point in the standings. The winner Sunday earns 100 points and the runner-up gets 80.

Clément Noël, the 2022 Olympic champion, also is in contention for the slalom title though he was seventh-fastest, with 0.78 to make up in the afternoon run.

Armand Marchant of Belgium was third, trailing McGrath by 0.55.

The Olympic and world champion in slalom, Loïc Meillard, skied out and another Norwegian contender in the World Cup standings, Timon Haugan, straddled a gate.
