Stern's NBA owners BY BRIAN MAHONEY Associated Press NEW YORK NBA owners and players were meeting again Thursday, hoping to reach a deal to end the lockout and very aware of the consequences if they fail. The two sides met for more than nine hours, working to try to find a way to save the season. Union executive committee member Roger Mason Jr.

of the New York Knicks provided a little insight into the talks through Twitter. In response to fellow player T.J. Ford's question about whether the lockout was over yet, he wrote: "No bro. Still a ways away." This latest bargaining session came after players and owners met for 12 hours Wednesday, passing Commissioner David Stern's deadline for players to accept the league's current proposal or face one that would be much worse. He said he "stopped the clock" while this round of negotiations continues but warned the harsher proposal will be put into play if talks break down.

On Wednesday, they talked mostly about the salary cap system issues that divide them and did not even discuss the division of basketball-related income, which is the other major obstacle.

The league, however, repeatedly has said it must have both in the next collective bargaining agreement.

"The competitive issues are independent of the economic issues. Our goal is to have a system in which all 30 teams are competing for championships and if wellmanaged, they have an opportunity to break even or make a profit," deputy commissioner Adam Silver said. "So we don't see the ability to break even or make a profit as a trade-off for the ability to field a competitive team. So all those issues are still in play." Those issues largely relate to the spending rules for teams over the luxury tax threshold. The NBA has sought to ban or reduce their ability to use the midlevel exception or participate in sign-and-trade deals, as well as impose a more punitive tax that players fear would deter teams from spending so much that it would act like a hard salary cap.

Union President Derek Fisher said after Wednesday's talks that he couldn't "characterize whether (owners) showed flexibility or not in certain system issues." "Obviously, we'd have a deal done if the right flexibility was being shown," he said. "The fact that we don't have a deal lets you know that there's still a lot of work to be done on the system."

It nearly got lost Thursday in the Australian Open, which featured another meltdown for John Daly. Jarrod Lyle had a 7-under 65 at The Lakes for a one-shot lead over Columbia native Dustin Johnson and Nick Watney, two of the eight Americans tuning up for the Presidents Cup next week. Woods, in his first tournament in Sydney in 15 years, shot a 4-under 68, his lowest score to par in the first round of any tournament this year.

The last time he played bogey-free was the second round of the Dubai Desert Classic on Feb. 11. Two groups behind Woods was Daly, who doesn't have a pretty record Down Under, and it got downright ugly. Daly hit seven golf balls into the water on the par-5 11th, and it might have been more except that he had none left in his bag. Daly turned over his scorecard to playing partners Hunter Mahan and Craig Parry and walked off the course.

ELSEWHERE LPGA: Hall of Famer Juli Inkster shot a bogey-free 5-under 67 for a share of the firstround lead with Suzann Pettersen in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational at Guadalajara, Mexico. Inkster, 51, is trying to become the oldest winner in LPGA Tour history. Beth Daniel was 46 when she won the 2003 Canadian Women's Open. Ochoa, a 27-time LPGA Tour winner, retired last year. Singapore Open: Edoardo Molinari and James Morrison both shot 9-under 62 to share the lead after the first round.

Molinari, 30, who has won two European Tour events, had six birdies for a 29 on the final nine holes.
