Cantlay takes 2-shot lead into final round

The showdown between Patrick Cantlay and Jon Rahm will continue into the final round of the Tour Championship on Sunday.

Cantlay will take a two-shot lead into the final round after shooting a 3-under 67 on Saturday. Cantlay hit 11 of 18 greens, sinking a 23-foot putt for birdie to close out his round.

Rahm shot a 2-under 68, which helped Cantlay add a stroke to his lead from Friday. Rahm hit eight of 14 fairways and 14 of 18 greens and had a great day on the green leaving no misses on putts within 10 feet.

Three weeks before the Ryder Cup, four-time major champion Brooks Koepka withdrew from the Tour Championship after injuring his wrist from hitting a tree root. Koepka said pulling out on the 13th hole at East Lake on Saturday was a precaution. “It’s the same wrist I had issues with in ’17 and ’18,” Koepka told a PGA Tour official before leaving. “So I’m just making sure it’s OK.”

NHL: Jesperi Kotkaniemi is now a member of the Hurricanes. Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin said Saturday the club won’t match Carolina’s one-year, $6.1 million offer for the 21-year-old restricted free agent forward. “Carolina has used a tool available to them in the collective bargaining agreement and we accept that decision,” Bergevin said in a statement. The Canadiens will receive first- and thirdround picks in the 2022 draft from the Hurricanes.

Soccer: Christian Pulisic is uncertain for the United States’ World Cup qualifier against Canada on Sunday night, and goalkeeper Zack Steffen remains sidelined by back spasms. Pulisic is regaining fitness after testing positive for COVID-19 and missed Thursday’s qualifying opener at El Salvador, a 0-0 draw. U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter said Pulisic had made progress and was to be evaluated again later Saturday to determine whether he will be on Sunday’s gameday roster.
