Golf roundup

Quicken Loans National: David Lingmerth waved his arm disgustedly to the right to warn the gallery after he blocked his tee shot on the tight par-5 10th hole at TPC Potomac in Potomac, Md. After two shots from the rough, one from a hazard and one from a bunker, he made a 6-footer for bogey to fall to 3 over for the day. He was still tied for the lead. Minutes later, he led by himself again when Daniel Summerhays bogeyed 11. It was that kind of day at the Quicken Loans National. Lingmerth steadied himself after his adventure on 10 and made an aggressive swing with a driver that came off perfectly on the short par-4 14th, leading to a two-putt birdie. The 29-year-old Swede made a sloppy bogey on 17 and managed a 3-over 73 to drop to 7 under and maintain a one-shot over Summerhays. Spencer Levin, who teed off two hours ahead of Lingmerth, was alone in third at 5 under after the best round of the day, a 65. There was little wind Saturday, and the greens were softened by a thunderstorm that caused a 90-minute delay, but TPC Potomac played as difficult as ever, showing as much bite as its storied neighbor, Congressional. Saturday ended the same way the first two rounds did with Lingmerth atop the leaderboard. Lingmerth, who came from behind to win a Web.com Tour event at TPC Potomac in 2012, has a chance to go wire-to-wire for his second PGA Tour victory. “I haven’t had the wire-to-wire scenario in my career, but a lot of great players have won tournaments that way and I would like to do it as well,” he said. “I’m kind of feeling like I’m up for the challenge.” Women’s PGA Championship: Danielle Kang got a text message from Wayne Gretzky on Saturday morning. Caitlyn Jenner called Friday, and four-time major winner Hollis Stacy also reached out. Lots of high-profile support for Kang as she goes for her first major championship in Olympia Fields, Ill. The 24-year-old Kang and Chella Choi shared the lead heading into the final round of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. Kang won the U.S. Women’s Amateur in 2010 in 2011, but she has never won an LPGA Tour tournament. “It would be incredible to be called a major champion, especially out on this tour,” Kang said. She got a boost before her afternoon tee time when Gretzky, like Jenner a friend from her days at Sherwood Country Club in California, passed along a simple message. “He said, `Just go win it,’ Kang recalled. “And you know, I was like, `It’s third round.’ And I was like, `Thank you, Wayne.’ And he’s like, `You just go, get it done.’ Senior Open: Kirk Triplett watched a TV documentary on the Celtics and Lakers before teeing off in the U.S. Senior Open in Peabody, Mass., then he and Kenny Perry tried to turn the tournament into a two-man show Larry Bird and Magic Johnson would be proud of. Starting the day tied at a record 11 under and playing together in the final group, Triplett and Perry turned a two-stroke edge into a five-shot advantage over their nearest competition. Triplett shot a 4-under 66 to improve to 15 under, and Perry was right with him until a bogey on No. 18 dropped him a stroke back.

French Open: Swedish golfer Alexander Bjork shot a 1-under 70 to share the lead with Peter Uihlein of the United States at 8 under after a difficult third round of the French Open at Guyancourt, France. Bjork moved into contention after making three birdies on the way back to the clubhouse, after two bogeys on the front nine. Uihlein was consistent but unspectacular, opening with a bogey and canceling that out with a birdie on the 14th hole for a par 71 to keep his overnight score.
