GOLF ROUNDUP
Tringale, Landry share PGA lead
Cameron Tringale and Andrew Landry topped the John Deere Classic leaderboard Saturday, with a half-dozen guys right behind them. Winless on the PGA Tour, Tringale shot a 6-under 65 to match Landy at 16-under 197 at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Ill. Landry had a 67. He won the Valero Texas Open last year for his lone tour title. "Some golf courses you can leaderboard watch, but this is not one of them," said Landry, with eight players within two shots of the lead. "You want to stay with your game plan." Bill Haas, the 2011 FedEx Cup champion, and Adam Schenk were a stroke back. Haas shot a 64, tying the best round of the day. Schenk had a 66. Nick Watney also had a 64 to join 2016 winner Ryan Moore (65), Dylan Frattelli (65) and Vaughn Taylor (66) at 14 under. Chris Stroud (66), Lucas Glover (69) and Roger Sloan (67) were 13 under. Second-round leader Jhonattan Vegas stumbled to a 76 and fell to 8 under. Tringale bogeyed the first hole, but that only motivated him to post his lowest score of the tournament. "The bogey on the first hole was a shot in the leg," Tringale said. "But I was able to get out of there myself and birdie the next two, which gave me some momentum."
Parel leads Senior Players
Scott Parel took advantage of Retief Goosen's problems to take the third-round lead in the Bridgestone Senior Players Championship, the fourth of the PGA Tour Champions' five major tournaments. Seven strokes behind Goosen at the start of the day, Parel birdied two of the last three holes — holing a 30-footer on the par-4 18th — for 3-under 67 and a one-stroke lead over Goosen at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio. "I had quite few short ones on the front nine that I didn't make," Parel said. "I guess it all evens out." Goosen followed his opening rounds of 69 and 62 with a 75. The South African played the first four holes in 4 over, making a bogey on No. 1, a double bogey on No. 3 and another bogey on No. 4. He had two more bogeys in the back nine and made only one birdie in the round.
Kim leads LPGA event
Sei Young Kim shot a 5-under 66 in the Marathon Classic to take a one-stroke lead over Lexi Thompson into the final round. Kim had seven birdies and two bogeys in gusty conditions to reach 16-under 197 at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania, Ohio. "It was a little tough to judge the distance," Kim said. "Wind very gusty, on and off." The South Korean player won the LPGA MEDIHEAL Championship in May in California for her eighth tour title. "Tomorrow, I play with Lexi Thompson, one of my favorite players," Kim said. "I'm very exciting play with her . ... I'm very confident right now. Play same as last three days." Thompson made a 20-foot eagle putt on the par-5 18th for a 65. She won the ShopRite LPGA Classic last month in New Jersey for her 11th tour title. "It was a lot windier today," Thompson said. "A little bit different direction, but not a big difference. It was just gusty . ... It was a little bit more to deal with and then firmer greens in the afternoon, but it was a good test." She's coming off a two-week break after playing five straight events. U.S. Women's Open champion Jeongeun Lee6 was third at 12 under after a 69. "My tee shot was not very good, especially my iron shots," Lee6 said. "It was so hard to control my shots. There weren't a lot of birdies today." Stacy Lewis (69), Jennifer Kupcho (69) and Carlota Ciganda (68) were 11 under.
Wiesberger has Scottish Open lead
Bernd Wiesberger will take a two-shot lead into the last round of the Scottish Open after carding 6-under 65. At 20 under after three rounds, Wiesberger posted the lowest ever 54-hole total at the European Tour event, and the lowest of his career. Eric van Rooyen of South Africa shot 67 to drop out of a tie for the lead to second at 18 under at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick.
Romo adds to lead
Defending champion Tony Romo increased his lead to nine points in the American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course.

He has played in two PGA Tour events this year. "IFormer major league pitcher Derek Lowe and former tennis Mardy Fish were tied for second. Actor Jack Wagner was fourth at 38.
