WACO, Texas -- When Baylor decided to get the ball inside the paint, there was nothing Houston Baptist could do about it.Kalani Brown scored 16 of her career-high 24 points in the third quarter and Nina Davis added 18 points and nine rebounds to help the second-ranked Lady Bears rout the Huskies 118-43 in the season opener for both teams Friday.The Lady Bears (1-0), who boast a front line with five players 6-foot-2 or taller, posted a 62-17 edge in points in the paint and controlled the boards by a 62-27 margin.I get to coach a team that doesnt look past the current opponent, Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. Weve got two tough games coming up, and maybe thats what I wanted to see is how sharp we were, how focused we were. Were big and weve got a lot of bigs, and they need to touch the ball right out of the gates.Baylor had 30 assists on its 44 field goals, despite playing its first game since the graduation of Niya Johnson. She led the nation in assists last year and is the all-time leader in that category in Big 12 history.Alexis Jones added 16 points and Beatrice Mompremier had 14 points and seven rebounds, including five on the offensive end.Her rebounding is something else, Mulkey said. That kid can get to some offensive boards because shes so athletic and shes got great size and length. Beatrice can finish because both shoulders are healthy and shes a year older. She gives us that energy when we start games.Amanda Johnson shook off a scoreless first half in the third quarter, when she hit three 3-pointers and scored all of her 10 points to lead Houston Baptist (0-1).Coming into the game we were telling our kids we have to be aggressive and we have to attack, Houston Baptist coach Donna Finnie said. But were not used to seeing that size and on-ball pressure. Thats not something we see in the Southland Conference, but we knew it was going to be an issue today. Initially I think it bothered our kids, but I think in the second half we settled in and started to make reads a little better.BIG PICTUREBaylor: Coming off three straight Elite 8 showings, the Lady Bears hope the addition of the nations top-ranked recruiting class will propel them beyond that plateau. Lauren Cox, the top overall recruit, had eight points and six rebounds in her debut.Houston Baptist: The Huskies are hoping early road tests like this one will help when Southland Conference play rolls around. They can take some confidence from scoring 19 points in third quarter after managing only 12 in the first half.UP NEXT:Baylors schedule ramps up immediately, with two top-10 showdowns next week. The Lady Bears will host No. 9 UCLA, the Pac-12 favorite, Monday before going on the road to meet No. 3 UConn, the four-time defending national champion Thursday.Houston Baptist: Things get no easier for the Huskies, who will travel to meet their second straight top-10 team when they play No. 8 Texas on Wednesday.POLL IMPLICATIONS: The Lady Bears spot at No. 2 is secure for this week, and they could take over at the top if theyre able to sweep their two games next week.

Donald, who became only the second player after Colin Montgomerie to win back-to-back titles at the West Course in 2011 and 2012, carded three birdies on each nine while blotting his card at the ninth and 15th to lie three shots behind early leaders Scott Hend and YE Yang.The 38-year-old enjoyed an encouraging run of form after missing out on The Masters and was in contention in the latter stages of both the RBC Heritage and the Valero Texas Open, although he missed the halfway cut in his last outing at The Players Championship. Luke Donald carded six birdies in his opening 68 But a return to Wentworth has galvanised the Englishman this week, and he has a great record in the European Tours flagship event after getting off to a strong start.If you look at just history, if Im playing well the first round, it usually means good things for the rest of the tournament, said Donald, who will be tournament host for the British Masters supported by Sky Sports at The Grove in October. Donald is climbing back up the world rankings after showing some good form in April Its nice to get off to a really solid start. I hit a lot of good shots out there, and I was really happy with that round. Obviously past success helps, having a lot of good memories to feed off of. Since the changes here, the course has seemed to favour my game a little bit more, and Ive enjoyed some really strong finishes over the last few years. Certainly the last year or two have been tough, tough times, where I struggled to gain that confidence and feel comfortable. But it seems like the last couple months, Im getting more and more comfortable the better I play, and its nice to see some good results go with that. I feel like I am on the upward path. Meanwhile, Shane Lowry was delighted to bounce back from a poor coouple of holes as two late birdies got him back to three under par.dddddddddddd.The Irishman followed a faultless, outward 32 with another birdie at the 12th, but he dropped a shot at the next and a wayward tee-shot at the short 14th kicked off a cart path and went out of bounds as he ran up a double-bogey five.But Lowry, who was tied for sixth last year after finishing runner-up to Rory McIlroy in 2014, got back on track with a birdie at the tough 15th before another at the last lifted his spirits. Shane Lowry was keen to take the positives from his opening-round 69 at the BMW PGA Championship It was good, I played nicely, said Lowry. I had a bit of a slip-up in the middle of the round but I really bounced back well. Birdieing 15 and 18 was big for me, especially that putt on the last. Had I shot 70, I would have been a little disappointed because of the way I played. But yeah, Im pretty happy.I do like it around here. Ive said that I love coming here, and its my favourite tournament of the year. We get looked after really well, and the golf course, I love it. It was nice crowds this morning, as well, and its just a really enjoyable week.
