Pádraig Harrington makes positive move up leaderboard with 67 at US Open

On the LPGA Tour, Leona Maguire stayed within two shots of the lead at the Meijer LPGA Classic. The Cavan woman could not match the heroics of Friday when shot a round of 65, but she did get firing with three birdies in a row from holes six to eight. She is 12 under for the tournament, a trio of Ashleigh Buhai, Xiyu Lin and Ayaka Furue lead on 14 under. Maguire lost in a playoff to Jennifer Kupcho at this event last year.

On the Ladies European Tour, Olivia Mehaffey slipped five shots off the pace at the Amundi German Masters in Berlin after carding a one-over 73 in her third round. Leader after round one when she shot a stunning eight-under 64, the Northern Irish golfer got to nine under after a one-under 71 in her second round. But moving day saw Mehaffey slip back to a share of fifth position after a round that started brightly after back-to-back birdies on the fifth and sixth holes moved her to 11 under. A double-bogey six on the eighth brought her back level for her round, and a dropped shot on the 12th saw her sign for a one-over 73.

The 25-year-old lies five shots off joint leaders Cara Gainer of England and and Czechia’s Kristyna Napoleaova.
