GOLF ROUNDUP

Sergio Garcia carded a 5-under 67 to join Richard Bland in a share of the lead in the third round of the BMW International Open on Saturday in Munich, Germany. Garcia, playing his first event in Europe since his Masters win, and Bland of England settled at 13 under overall going into Sunday’s final round on Munich’s Eichenried course. Bland hit water on the 11th hole but recovered for his fourth birdie, and he followed up with an eagle on the 13th to move ahead. “I hit some really good shots out there and I hit a couple of scrappy ones coming in but my short game saved me,” Bland said. “Got my feet wet and holed a second shot into 13. So yeah, kind of ran pretty much into everything.” Garcia stumbled with his second bogey on the 14th, but the Spaniard bounced back with birdies on the 15th and 17th holes, his sixth and seventh, to go level. “A good, solid day,” said Garcia, who is going for his third title of the season. One stroke behind them was former joint leader Joakim Lagergren (69), who had four birdies after a bogey on the second hole. Thomas Detry, his co-leader from Friday, had a 70 with two bogeys to join Andres Romero (68) for a share of fourth place at 10 under. Defending champion Henrik Stenson (72) was among six players including 2007 champion Niclas Fasth at 8 under.

So Yeon Ryu shot a course-record 10-under 61 in the NW Arkansas Championship to take a five-stroke lead into the final round. Ryu, the third-ranked South Korean star who won the ANA Inspiration in April for her second major title, reached 16 under to break the tournament 36-hole record by two strokes. She had her lowest score on the LPGA Tour and matched her professional best set in the 2012 Australian Ladies Masters. Local favorite Stacy Lewis and Moriya Jutanugarn were tied for second. They each shot 65. First-round leader Sung Hyun Park followed her opening 63 with a 73 to drop into a tie for 10th at 6 under. Defending champion Lydia Ko was 5 under after a 67.

Paul Broadhurst shot a 3-under 69 at University Ridge to maintain a two-stroke lead in the PGA Tour Champions’ American Family Insurance Open in Madison, Wis. Broadhurst followed birdies on the par-5 16th and par-3 17th with a bogey on the par-4 18th to finish at 12-under 132. The Englishman opened with a 63 on Friday. He won the Senior British Open and PURE Insurance Championship last year on the 50-and-over tour. Lee Janzen and Scott Verplank were tied for second. They each shot 66. Tournament host Steve Stricker had a 69 to join Fred Couples (68) and Gene Sauers (66) at 9 under. Stricker is making his first start in his hometown event after turning 50 in February. He tied for 16th last week in the U.S. at Erin Hills. Fellow Madison player Jerry Kelly was tied for 11th at 6 under after a 70. Defending champion Kirk Triplett shot a 73 to drop into a tie for 41st at 2 under. Nick Faldo was even par after a 73. He’s making his first PGA Tour Champions start since 2015.
