GOLF
PGA TOUR: Taylor Pendrith ran off five straight birdies at the turn and flirted with a sub-60 round until settling for two closing pars and a 10-under 61 at Port Royal in Southampton, Bermuda, giving him a one-shot lead over Patrick Rodgers going into the weekend at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.
Rodgers, who had to return to the Korn Ferry Tour Finals to get back his PGA Tour card , had the good end of the draw and took advantage. He followed a 68 in breezy conditions with a 64, chipping in for eagle toward the end of his round.

TENNIS
TRANSYLVANIA OPEN: Top-seeded Simona Halep cruised into the semifinals in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, but U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu lost to a fellow teenager in less than an hour.

Kostyuk will aim to reach her first career final when she plays Halep, who eased past fellow Romanian player Jacqueline Cristian 6-1, 6-1.
