Glover ties Horschel for Wyndham lead

-

Lucas Glover and Billy Horschel started the Wyndham Championsh­ip as long shots to advance to the PGA Tour postseason. Now they have reason to think about winning.

Glover had great control Saturday, hitting every fairway and missing only one green, on his way to an 8-under 62. That gave him a share of the lead with Horschel, who fought his swing toward the end and still managed a 63.

They were at 18-under 192, one shot ahead of 36hole leader Russell Henley. He rolled in a sweeping birdie putt from just inside 30 feet on the last hole for a 65.

The Wyndham Championsh­ip is the final PGA Tour event before the lucrative postseason, and only the top 70 advance to the Fedex Cup playoffs next week in Memphis, Tennessee. That’s a change from previous years, when the top 125 made the postseason.

Glover came into Sedgefield Country Club at No. 112 and without a win in more than two years. But he has been building to this point, with three finishes of sixth or better in his last four tournament­s, and he put it together on a warm, sunny day that began to dry out the course.

Boutier leads Women’s Scottish Open by three

Celine Boutier took a three-shot lead at the Women’s Scottish Open after posting a 6-under 66 in the third round.

Boutier, who won the Évian Championsh­ip last Sunday, had eight birdies and two bogeys in her round. The 29-year-old Frenchwoma­n is 13 under overall.

“I feel like my expectatio­ns have definitely been higher,” Boutier said. “Like even when I miss a good shot or I make a bogey, I definitely get more annoyed. So I definitely have to keep my expectatio­ns kind of like level and not get too far ahead of myself.”

Thailand’s Patty Tavatanaki­t (66) is tied for second with Swede Maja Stark (72).
