- — Steve Kroner

Because of the ongoing coronaviru­s pandemic and resulting protocols in Hawaii, the Maui Invitation­al will relocate to Las Vegas' Michelob Ultra Arena.

Randy Bennett's St. Mary's Gaels are one of the eight teams in the tournament; the Gaels open play against Notre Dame on Nov. 22.

Golf: PGA Tour rookie Sahith Theegala began the back nine at Country Club of Jackson (Miss.) with three straight birdies, had an eagle chip spin 360 degrees around the cup and finished with a 5-under-par 67 to take a one-shot lead at 18-under 198 into the final round Sanderson Farms Championsh­ip.

Cameron Tringale had a pair of eagles from long range with his putter and his wedge and matched his career best with a 62. He was one shot behind, along with Sam Burns and Denny McCarthy, who each shot 65.

San Francisco-born Will Zalatoris, the rookie of the year last season who shared the lead after the second round, shot 72 and fell five shots behind in a tie for 16th. Inbee Park birdied three of her last five holes to match Jin Young Ko with a 6-under 65 and leave the two top South Koreans in the world tied for the lead at 11-under 131 in the ShopRite LPGA at Galloway, N.J.

They were two shots ahead of ANA Inspiratio­n winner Patty Tavatanaki­t, who birdied No. 18 to cap off a bogey-free 65. Tennis: Cameron Norrie beat top-seeded Andrey Rublev of Russia 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to advance to the final of the inaugural San Diego Open. Norrie, the 26-year-old Briton who won his first ATP Tour title this year in Acapulco, will face second-seeded Casper Ruud of Norway. Ruud, ranked No. 10 in the world, beat No. 29 Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 in the other semifinal. Ons Jabeur and Garbiñe Muguruza advanced to the Chicago Fall Tennis Classic final when their semifinal opponents were unable to play. Jabeur led Elena Rybakina 6-4, 3-2 when Rybakina retired due to illness. Ninthranke­d Muguruza advanced without playing a point after Marketa Vondrousov­a withdrew because of a gastrointe­stinal illness.
