Dahmen leads at Wyndham Championship as Power faces FedEx Cup playoff battle

JOEL DAHMEN, FIGHTING to make the season-ending playoffs, fired a nine-under par 61 on Thursday to seize a one-shot lead in the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina. Dahmen arrived at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro ranked 101st in the tour's FedEx Cup standings. The top 70 advance to the playoffs that start next week with the St. Jude Championship. Dahmen attacked the challenge with 10 birdies, including three in a row to cap his round at the seventh, eighth and ninth. Séamus Power, who is also chasing the playoffs, opened his tournament with a one-under 69 to leave him eight off the lead and in a tie for 89th place. Power was four-under after a blistering front nine which included back-to-back birdies on eight and nine. But his round unravelled with two bogeys in a row over the next two holes before dropping another shot on the 14th. Advertisement Power is 130th in the FedEx Cup standings and must win the tournament to reach the playoffs. To climb up to the top 100 and gain full status for next year, he must earn a top-10 finish this weekend. He needs a top-25 finish to secure conditional status for next year. A victory would move Dahmen into 48th place in the FedEx Cup standings, although the 37-year-old — who has one win on his resume — was quick to note there was a lot of golf left to be played. 'The playoffs are a bonus for me,' he said. 'I'm just going to go out and try to play good golf and I guess if I play really well then I get to play another week.' Dahmen had a one-stroke lead over Sweden's Alex Noren, whose eight-under round was highlighted by an eagle at the par-five fifth hole. England's Aaron Rai, Colombian Nico Echavarria and Americans Mark Hubbard and Cameron Young were tied for third on seven-under. Meanwhile at the AIG Women's Open, Ireland's Anna Foster carded a four-over 76 in the opening round at Royal Porthcawl, Wales. Foster started with a birdie on the first but slipped back with a double-bogey on the third and got back to even par with a birdie on the next hole. However, she endured a difficult back nine which included three bogeys and another double-bogey. Leona Maguire and Lauren Walsh opened with even-par rounds.

Squiban solos to Tour de France stage win, Le Court maintains lead

MAEVA SQUIBAN secured a home win on the sixth stage of the women's Tour de France on Thursday, as history-maker Kim Le Court held on to her overnight lead. Frenchwoman Squiban broke free from the chasing pack with 30km to go and soloed home to secure the victory in 3hr 20min 46sec, after a mountainous 123.7km slog from Clermont-Ferrand to Ambert. Meanwhile, Ireland's Mia Griffin was 104th, Lara Gillespie was 110th, and Fiona Mangan came 123rd. Advertisement Griffin is now 90th overall, one place ahead of Gillespie, while Mangan is 120th. 'It's incredible, I don't know what to say! When they told me I had 1min 20sec, 1min 30sec (lead), I didn't really believe it,' said Squiban. 'I had Amalia (Debarges) from the team waiting for me with Haribo at the finish, that motivated me even more! It's a special day for us,' added the 23-year-old from Brest. Compatriot Juliette Labous finished second, with Le Court completing the podium as the Mauritian held onto the yellow jersey she claimed on Wednesday when she became the first African to win a stage on the women's Tour. 'It could only have been better if I had won the stage. I felt really good today. The goal was to control the race,' said Le Court. The 29-year-old has a 26sec lead over France's Pauline Ferrand-Prevot in the overall classification, with Polish reigning champion Katarzyna Niewiadoma a further 4sec behind. Demi Vollering of the Netherlands, considered the pre-race favourite by many, sits fourth overall with a 31sec gap to Le Court. Friday's seventh stage will see the peloton arrive in the Alps, with a hilly 159.7km run from Bourg-en-Bresse to Chambery on the cards. – © AFP 2025

Ireland's Fiona Mangan wins Intermediate Sprint at Tour de France

Updated at 18.44 FRENCH RIDER Maeva Squiban claimed a back-to-back double on the women's Tour de France by winning stage 7 on Friday, a day after her first breakaway stage victory, while Ireland's Fiona Mangan won the Intermediate Sprint. The Limerick native, who becomes the first Irish rider to achieve this feat, claimed 25 points as a result, with Spain's Yurani Blanco and American Ruth Edwards second and third, respectively. Mangan also moves up to 30th in the overall ranking for the category. Advertisement Mangan also finished 66th in today's stage, while fellow Irish riders Mia Griffin and Lara Gillespie were 99th and 123rd. Griffin is now 92nd overall, with Mangan 99th and Gillespie 104th. Mauritian Kim Le Court-Pienaar held on to the overall lead as the nine-day race heads into Saturday's stage 8, the first of two Alpine runs taking in two ascents and finishing atop the Col de la Madeleine at 2000m. The 23-year-old Squiban attacked from distance on the hilly 159.7km stage from Bourg-en-Bresse to Chambery in a carbon copy of her first stage win, while her compatriot Cedrine Kerbaol and American Ruth Edwards rounded out the podium. Squiban broke away two kilometres from the summit of the Col du Granier, later claiming she had been joking when she went. 'I jokingly said I would attack at the start. In the end, it wasn't a joke,' she said. In the overall standings on the eve of the queen stage, the penultimate of this 2025 edition, Le Court has a 26-second lead over Pauline Ferrand-Prevot and a 30sec margin over defending champion Katarzyna Niewiadoma.
