SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France — Mariajo Uribe of Colombia is retiring from golf after the final round of the Olympics. She felt that would be the perfect way to go out. And now there's a new and wonderful wrinkle. The 34-year-old has been firing away at Le Golf National. She was tied for the lead at one point in the third round. Uribe shot a 71 and is four shots behind. She's only two shots away from a possible spot on the podium. Uribe says she's going to give it everything she has on Saturday and enjoy every minute.
