GOLF: Rookies lead Sony Open
PGA Tour rookies Russell Henley and Scott Langley will play one more round together at the Sony Open in Honolulu, this time with a trophy and a Masters invitation at stake.
Henley two-putted from 30 feet for birdie on the last hole of the third roundyesterday for a 3-under 67. That gave him a share of the lead with Langley, who had a 65 in the third round. They set the tournament scoring record through 54 holes at 17-under 193 and had a three-shot lead over Tim Clark.
Scott Jamieson of Scotland had a 4-under 68 and took a five-shot lead in the Volvo Champions, while Louis Oosthuizen faded in the third round at Durban Country Club in Durban, South Africa.

In Sacramento, Calif., Mario Chalmers had career highs with 10 3-pointers and 34 points to lead the Heat to a 128-99 victory over the Kings. LeBron James had 20 points, seven assists, five steals and a pair blocks for the Heat.
Luis Scola scored 22 points and Michael Beasley added 20 to help the Suns beat the Bulls 97-81 last night in Chicago, snapping a five-game losing streak.
Jrue Holiday scored 30 points, Thaddeus Young had 18 points and the 76ers snapped a five-game skid with a 107-100 win over the Rockets in Philadelphia. Jeremy Lin missed 11 of 13 shots.

Redick gave Orlando its first lead on a 3-pointer with 42 seconds left, Arron Afflalo tied his season high with 30 points, and the Magic beat the Clippers 104-101 in Los Angeles to snap a 10-game skid. The loss ended the Clippers’ franchise-record 13-game, home-winning streak and provided them with a scare when All-Star guard Chris Paul went down holding his right knee with 54 seconds to go, but returned after a timeout.
