Whether Encarnacion was in the line-up or not, in the end, moving
Brett Lawrie into the lead-off slot, and Colby Rasmus into the two-slot
made perfect sense. So did dropping Kelly Johnson into the clean-up slot

Danville, Ky., shot a 7-under 65 on Tuesday to take the first-round lead
in the Junior PGA Championship, and defending champion Ariya Jutanugarn
of Thailand had a 66 to top the girls division.
The 17-year-old Williams had eight birdies and a bogey at Sycamore Hills
to match the competitive course record.
"It was a career day," said Williams, the Kentucky Junior PGA
Championship winner. "I got hot on the front nine and kept it going on
the back."
Early thunderstorms forced a two-hour delay.
"The rain delay this morning was a big factor," Williams said. "The
greens were firm during the practice round, but today most of the guys
were able to shoot at the pins and there were lots of low scores."
The 16-year-old Jutanugarn birdied the final three holes to match the
course record she set last year in her 10-stroke victory.
"On the front nine I did not play so well," Jutanugarn said. "My driver
was bad at the start. ... I got lucky on 16 when I chipped in and 17 is
my favourite hole and I know I can make birdie there. TThen I hit it to
one foot on 18. .
"
She finished with seven birdies and a bogey.
Jim Liu of Smithtown, N.Y., and Cameron Champ of Sacramento, Calif.,
were tied for second in the boys competition at 67.
"I got off to a really hot start," said Liu, 2010 U.S. Junior Amateur
winner. "The back was harder, but I was able to hold it together and
close with birdies on 17 and 18."
Beau Hossler, the 17-year-old Mission Viejo, Calif., player who tied for
29th in the U.S. Open in June, matched Tyler McDaniel of Manchester,
Ky., with a 68.
"I was pretty flawless today, minus the bogey at 18," Hossler said. "If I
can keep the ball in the fairway, I will be right there at the end of
the week."
Jutanugarn had a one-stroke lead over 15-year-old Samantha Wagner of
Windermere, Fla.
"I was really happy with how I played today," Wagner said. "I was
disappointed with how I played last year, but I love this course and
knew I could play better."
Megan Khang of Rockland, Mass., shot a 68, and Jutanugarns older sister,
Moriya, had a 69.
