Working with the Special Olympics, they staged the first-ever Unified Relay Across America (URAA) in 2015 - organizing more than 10,000 participants to bring the torch through all 50 states to start the Special Olympics World Games..

Radwanska, making her debut in the Seoul tournament, hit eight aces in a match that lasted 1 hour, 4 minutes at Olympic Park tennis stadium. "It was definitely a very good match -- I was playing really good tennis," Radwanska said. SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- The 1 p.m. tee time last Monday would have been no big deal otherwise. But it was in Switzerland. And for Henrik Stenson, it was the day after winning The Open.That was hard on no sleep, said Stenson, smiling.The occasion was a charity event for Sergio Garcia, one Stenson had long ago committed to and which attracted a slew of big-name players.But coming less than 24 hours after winning The Open in Scotland, the timing was not the greatest. Then it was home to Sweden for what was supposed to be a few days with the family, his golf clubs stored away.But having become the first Swedish male golfer to win a major championship, there were media demands that consumed quite a bit of time.Someone even told me they were broadcasting it live on radio, so I guess that shows the magnitude of the win, Stenson said. If they broadcast the whole thing on radio, national radio.A lot of interviews, a lot of media the first couple of days, but I still managed to spend some time with my family for a few days before coming over [to the U.S.] My signature has been pretty sought after since I touched base here in New York. Theres been a lot of signing these first couple of days out there.After shooting a final-round 63 at Royal Troon to win The Open by 3 strokes over Phil Mickelson, theres been a good bit of celebrating, and some traveling, but not much time for decompressing and assessing.Just 11 days after his career achievement, Stenson, 40, will go after major championship No. 2 on Thursday when the PGA Championship begins at Baltusrol. Its a quick turnaround without much time for reflection.Ive just got to get back into my game and pay attention to all the little things that are important to play good golf for me.dddddddddddd Exactly how to do it ... I havent been in this situation before. So I guess weve got to make the best I can, and you live and you learn. And if we dont get it right, Im sure well figure out why we didnt get it right.Stenson, who is ranked fifth in the world, would love to build on the momentum that has come from his two recent victories. He won the BMW International Open in Germany last month and has had five other top-six finishes in 2016.I dont think Im going to sit back and just say, OK, that was it, Im finished, Stenson said. Its definitely the icing on the cake. If I look at my career, to win a major championship, that was pretty much the only thing I had not managed to achieve, and now I have that.But then at the same time, you can look ahead and then try and win another one. I think Ive got a good few years in me and Im going to try and keep on developing, and if you dont, these young guys are going to come up and take over. So I think Ive got a bit of fight in me.Although there has been little time, Stenson did say hes had a few celebrations with the Claret Jug that involved champagne. With so much golf in the immediate future -- PGA Championship, Olympics, FedEx Cup, Ryder Cup, the European Tours Race to Dubai -- he expects that to subside.There have been some memorable celebrations, he said. [But] I have it [the Claret Jug] for a year, so there might be a few more sips. ' ' '
