Ryan Lochte is going to Rio, but Missy Franklin will have to wait another day to see whether she will make her second Olympic team.Lochte, an 11-time Olympic medalist, failed for the second time to seal a spot in an individual event after finishing fourth overall (1:46.62) in Tuesdays 200-meter freestyle final at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials in Omaha, Nebraska, but that finish put him on the 4x200 relay team for Team USA. Lochte, who is swimming with a nagging groin injury, was previously shut out of the 400 individual medley Sunday.Im just happy that Im going to Rio, Lochte said. You can never go in knowing that youre going to make the team, just because the U.S. is one of the hardest countries to make the Olympic team.Townley Hass won the 200 free (1:45.66) to qualify for his first Olympics. He was just a hundredth of a second ahead of Conor Dwyer, who clinched his second individual event for Rio after also taking second in the 400 free.In the second final of the night, Franklin finished seventh overall (1:00.24) in the womens 100 backstroke, missing a chance to defend her 2012 title. She was nearly 2 seconds off her winning time from London.Racing just 23 minutes after qualifying for the final of the 200 free, Franklin, 21, couldnt pull off the grueling double. She finished nearly a body length behind winner Olivia Smoliga (59.02) and runner-up Kathleen Baker (59.29), who will represent the U.S. in what was once Franklins signature event.Its going to be really hard not to be in that [event] this summer, Franklin said. But I cannot wait to watch how Olivia and Kathleen do, and I cant wait to see what theyre capable of.It was a stunning fall for Franklin, although not totally surprising, given her recent performances. She has struggled since turning pro last summer and seems a bit overwhelmed by the enormous expectations she faced going into an Olympic year, knowing everyone -- fans, sponsors, media, fellow athletes -- expected her to burn even brighter after she claimed four golds and a bronze in London while still just a high schooler.I am feeling more pressure than I ever have before, but thats all part of the process ... learning how to deal with it and learning how to move forward, Franklin said. All I can do is the best I can do.She is entered in three more events at the trials: the 100 and 200 freestyle and 200 backstroke.The only swimmer to finish behind Franklin in the 100 backstroke was 12-time gold medalist Natalie Coughlin (1:00.48). Coughlin, 33, probably missed out on her best chance to make the team in an individual event, although she could still qualify in a relay.Another stalwart of the 2012 U.S. team also failed to qualify for Rio. Matt Grevers, the defending Olympic gold medalist in the mens 100 backstroke, finished third behind Ryan Murphy and David Plummer.Murphy won in 52.26, edging Plummers time of 52.28. Grevers touched in 52.76.It wasnt that tight. They beat me by a half-second, Grevers said. I think Im a little stunned. I think after I let it sink in, Ill be more distraught than I currently am.Yet another Olympic gold medalist, Jessica Hardy, finished sixth in the 100 breaststroke to also miss out on the U.S. team. Lilly King and Katie Meili were 1-2 in the final, extending what has become a definite changing of the guard in Omaha.Ten of the swimmers who claimed likely spots for Rio on Tuesday night will be first-time Olympians. Over the first three days of the trials, that number could be as high as 17, a drastic makeover for the worlds greatest swimming nation.But a couple of the most recognizable names are doing just fine.Katie Ledecky is living up to her staggering expectations, and the most decorated Olympian of them all, Michael Phelps, looked as dominant as ever in his first event of the trials.Ledecky was easily the top qualifier in the semifinals of the 200 free at 1:55.10, more than a second ahead of everyone else, as she looks to add a second event to her Rio schedule. She already won the 400 free, will be an overwhelming favorite in the 800 free and is entered in the 100 free.Franklin was fourth-fastest at 1:57.33, leaving her little chance of knocking off Ledecky but hope that she could at least get the second spot in Wednesdays final to claim an individual spot. A top-six finish probably would be good enough to put her on the team in the 4x200 relay.Right now, I need to make the team in whatever way that looks like, Franklin said, a tinge of desperation in her voice.Then theres Phelps, who already has 18 golds and 22 medals overall and came out of retirement seeking to win a few more before he calls it quits again.He was more than a second ahead of the next-fastest swimmer in the semifinals of the 200 butterfly, powering through the water with ease while his 7-week-old son, Boomer, watched from the stands, his mother covering the infants ears as the crowd roared for his dad.Phelps, whose time was 1:55.17, couldnt help but notice all the newcomers on the U.S. team.I dont even know half of them, he said. Its exciting to have new faces, where people are really pumped to come up in the sport. Thats a good thing to see as Im on my way out.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

ATLANTA -- Kevin Na played the final round of the Tour Championship on Sunday afternoon like he was making up for lost time. In a way, he actually was.Saddled with a reputation as one of the games slowest players, Na found himself as a single in the days first tee time, the odd-man-out in what began as a 30-man field but dwindled to 29 when Jason Day withdrew two days earlier.One day after posting an even-par 72 in 2 hours, 48 minutes in the same situation during the third round, Na never had any intention of racing his way around East Lake Golf Club for this one.Simply playing at a steady pace, he made the turn in 1 hour, 3 minutes, figuring any chance at breaking the 2-hour barrier was already gone. But he started walking a little quicker, then even quicker, and by the time hed hit his drive on the 13th tee, Na raced off the tee box down the fairway.With official scorer and standard bearers in tow, he and caddie Kenny Harms kept up that pace, with Harms often jogging to the green after each approach shot to read the putt for his player.Once Na had birdied each of the last four holes for an even-par 70, he was officially done at 1:39 p.m. ET -- for a total time of 1 hour, 59 minutes.Ill tell you what, he said afterward, smiling and still slightly out of breath, nobodys going tto break that record shooting even par or better.dddddddddddd.According to the PGA Tour, official records on time of rounds arent kept, though Nas sub-two-hour total is believed to be the quickest in memory.Asked about actually playing well while moving quickly, he joked, I birdied the last four holes running. Maybe I ought to run more often.Despite the fact that he acknowledges his long-standing reputation as a slow player, Na insisted that label played no part in him wanting to prove that he can play quicker when he needs to.It wasnt about that, he stated. It was really just about having fun. I wanted to break par today and play well. Finish on a good note.Or, as Harms put it: Everybody else has just been holding us up these past 10 years.Na said he felt fine immediately after the round, especially considering hes not exactly a runner.Ill run a mile on the treadmill, he said. I can run maybe three miles without stopping. Thats not terrible for a golfer.After the round, the new father was less happy about his fast round than his ability to make an early-evening flight.You know what the nice thing is? he said. I get to fly home and see my baby girl. ' ' '
