PGA Tour: Chez Reavie was plodding along during the third round of the Travelers Championship, watching playing partner Zach Sucher extend his leadin Cromwell, Connecticut. Then came the turn, both for the round and in the fortunes of the two players. Coming off a third-place tie last week in the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, the 37-year-old Reavie matched a tournament record with a back-nine 28 to shoot a 7-under 63. He took advantage of Sucher's problems and turned a six-stroke deficit into a six-stroke lead heading into Sunday. Sucher had a 71 to drop into a tie for second with Keegan Bradley (69) at 10 under.

LPGA Tour: Hannah Green made it through her first taste of the big stage on the LPGA Tour by holding a lead on the weekend at a major championship and playing alongside powerful Ariya Jutanugarn, a two-time major champion and former No. 1 in the world. She made it through just fine, and walked off Hazeltine National with a 2-under 70 and a one-shot lead in the KPGA Women's PGA Championship in Minnesota.

PGA Tour Champions: Steve Flesch birdied the final three holes for a 7-under 65 and the second-round lead Saturday in the American Family Insurance Championship, with tournament host Steve Stricker a stroke back in his hometown tournament in Madison, Wisconsin.
