UT swimming coach leaving for Tennessee

University of Toledo women's swimming and diving coach Lars Jorgensen resigned Friday to take an assistant coaching position with the men's program at Tennessee, his alma mater.

"Coaching at Toledo has been the best experience of my life, and I'm going to miss the people here very much," Jorgensen said. "I believe the team has an extremely bright future."

Jorgensen led the Rockets to their first Mid-American Conference title in school history in February. In his six years at the helm, Jorgensen's teams posted a 45-19-1 dual-meet record, and he has guided swimmers to 20 individual conference titles.

"We wish Lars all the best as he returns to a place where he can be closer to his family and has very fond memories," UT athletic director Mike O'Brien said.

SAMMAMISH, Wash. - Bernhard Langer overcame a shaky front nine with an eagle and birdie on the inward half Friday to take the lead at 3 under in the second round of the U.S. Senior Open.

After a fog delay of more than two hours brought play to a halt just before 8 a.m., Langer shot a 2-under 68, making key putts on the back nine when his round easily could have slipped away. Langer won the Senior British Open on Sunday at Carnoustie.

No one in the afternoon rounds was able to match Langer. John Cook was two back after a 68, along with J.R. Roth. Tom Watson and Fred Couples shot 70s to stay three back.

•SOUTHPORT, England - Taiwan's Yani Tseng shot her second straight 4-under 68 to open a four-stroke lead in the Women's British Open.

LPGA Championship winner Cristie Kerr (67), Brittany Lincicome (71), and Amy Yang (71) were tied for second. Michelle Wie (76) was 10 strokes behind.
