Thitikul extends lead at Women's PGA, while Maguire drops back
Jeeno Thitikul is halfway home to her first major victory, as she will take a three-shot lead into the weekend, while Leona Maguire sits eight shots back at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship in Frisco, Texas. Thitikul from Thailand followed a first-round 68 with a2-under-par 70 on Friday to reach 6-under 138 at the Fields Ranch East course at PGA Frisco. She has a comfortable edge over Australia's Minjee Lee, who shot even-par 72,and Japan's Rio Takeda, who birdied her final hole (No. 9) and four of her last six for a 71. Lexi Thompson also posted a 70 in the second round and holds fourth place at -2. Ireland's Maguire meanwhile, lost further ground but is tied for 16th after her round of 74 left her two over for the tournament. It was a tricky start for Maguire who hit bogeys on five of her first seven holes. However, she managed to recover somewhat and three birdies, including two on the back nine, ensured that she made the cut. The course played even tougher than the day before, and only one player managed to break 70. England's Charley Hull posted a 3-under 69 to move to 3over and ensure she'll make the cut after an opening-round 78 set her back. Thitikul entered the day with a one-shot lead and spent most of her round hovering around even par. After beginning on the back nine, she had two birdies and two bogeys through 16 holes before a birdie-birdie finish. The Thai golfer made a 12 1/2-foot putt at the par-3 eighth before two-putting from59 feet at the par-5 ninth. Thitikul has five wins to her credit on the LPGA Tour and placed in the top 10of seven majors. Now she will get to play from ahead and defend her lead in a high-pressure situation. "I think it's depend on the wind," Thitikul said of the weekend to come. "If you can be committing with the wind you see and then calculating really good and putting yourself like tee-to-green really well and then making par, I think it's good enough."

Ciaran Thompson pays tribute to ‘brilliant' Donegal GAA teammate for ‘absolutely unbelievable' heroics against Mayo
CIARÁN THOMPSON hailed Ciarán Moore for kicking his winner against Mayo. Moore's Advertisement 2 Ciaran Thompson paid tribute to Ciaran Moore Credit: Ramsey Cardy/Sportsfile 2 Ciaran Moore kicked the winning score for Donegal against Mayo Credit: Seb Daly/Sportsfile A draw would have been good enough for Jim McGuinness' men to finish second in Group 1. The winning score made no difference to them in that regard but it does mean they go into tomorrow's All-Ireland SFC preliminary quarter-final at home to Louth with the momentum of being on the back of two victories. And Thompson lauded flying wing-back Moore, 22, for bombing forward for the victory. The Donegal star told SunSport: 'He's brilliant, he has serious legs, absolutely unbelievable. Advertisement Read More on GAA 'Coming from the half-back line there into the half-forward line, just to compose yourself then and stick it over was savage. Fair play to him. 'We always knew it was going to be a tight battle against Mayo, it always is. Mayo went ahead but we dug deep to bring it back level and we got one or two ahead. 'They brought it back level and it was just nice to kick the winner then at the end with the last kick of the game.' Thompson knows Donegal's home comforts are vital. They were in danger of finishing third when David McBrien's second-half goal put Mayo in front — that might have meant a trip to Kerry or Dublin this weekend. Advertisement Most read in Sport Daire Ó Baoill's two-pointer and scores from Michael Murphy and Shane O'Donnell eased fears of that happening and while Fergal Boland thought he had kept the Connacht giants in the hunt for Sam with a late leveller, Moore had the final, decisive say. Donegal have only lost one game in league and Championship football at Ballybofey's MacCumhaill Park under McGuinness and Thompson is happy to be at home against the Leinster champs tomorrow. 'Just in time for Father's Day' - Dublin GAA legends welcome the birth of precious baby daughter He added: 'We were always expecting that from Mayo. We knew they were going to come back and the goal was a bit of a sucker-punch. 'It was just massive to win and get a home draw.' Advertisement

Sam Mulroy doubles down on brave All-Ireland claim he ‘took a lot of slack for' after inspiring Louth to Leinster glory
SAM MULROY is determined to secure a second date with his silver namesake after a summer of love so far. The neighbours Meath in last month's 2 Louth footballer Sam Mulroy poses for a portrait at the national launch of the GAA Football All-Ireland Senior Championship Series Credit: Sam Barnes/Sportsfile 2 Louth footballer Sam Mulroy poses for a portrait with the Sam Maguire Cup at the national launch of the GAA Football All-Ireland Senior Championship Series Credit: Sam Barnes/Sportsfile On a day when the country fell back in love with the maligned provincial Championship , With Dublin aiming for a 15th Delaney Cup in a row, the public's relationship with the Leinster Championship had turned sour. But Louth's heroics — after Meath had Mulroy got his hands on Sam Maguire at the launch of the All-Ireland knockout series this week before a preliminary quarter-final trip to Read More on GAA And the confident hitman has reiterated his belief that the Wee County can take home the big prize for the first time since 1957, a claim he reveals he has copped flak for. He said: 'Absolutely, I took a little bit of slack for it before, which was fine but I suppose it was a case of putting it out there into the world and saying, 'Why could we not be in contention?' 'The group's gone about doing the work to put us in contention and to play in these games. Obviously last week Meath beat Kerry and they beat Dublin. 'They're results you wouldn't be calling maybe last year with the rule changes and the two-pointers and the expansive game. Most read in GAA Football 'So I don't think you can rule anything out going into the next few weeks.' Winning Leinster for just the ninth time in their history understandable took its toll. 'Just in time for Father's Day' - Dublin GAA legends welcome the birth of precious baby daughter The hangover carried into the All-Ireland group stages as back-to-back defeats against Monaghan and Down left their summer hanging by a thread. Ger Brennan's men did the business in the final round against Clare, but only just. They eventually banished the Banner 2-17 to 2-14 last weekend to advance in third. Mulroy said: 'Winning Leinster has been the main goal over the last number of years for this group. I suppose when you get there and you do it, maybe there is a case of coming down a little bit. 'There was obviously a lot of celebrating going on for a few days after but you have to, because it took a long time to get there and you have to enjoy it and live in the moment. 'But our performances against Monaghan and Down weren't up to scratch and we knew going into last weekend that we had to win to save the Championship. 'I don't know if we played better that way with our backs against the wall a little bit, but maybe it was the best thing for us. 'I thought at times last week we were good, so hopefully we're coming back to some sort of form. 'It's 68 years, so for the people of Louth it was a once-in-a-lifetime thing for a lot of people. 'Hopefully the gap is not as big the next time. I suppose it's hard to get back on track, maybe, even just for people around the county and talking about it and not getting caught up in that. 'We were back training on the Wednesday, obviously with a job to do and we knew we were going into a tough group. 'It was a case of maybe you didn't get to bask in it as much as you'd like, but we enjoyed the few days we got.' TOP MARKS Mulroy has the mindset of a top marksman as, despite firing a number of wides against the Royals, he still ran up a huge total. The Naomh Máirtín hotshot admits putting those off-target efforts behind him was key, allowing him to fire a two-point free in the 65th minute to move Louth ahead of their neighbours and put one hand on the Delaney Cup. The 27-year-old said: 'Moments come and pass and it's trying to stay on track and not get too caught up in it. 'By the time I took the last kick, I'd completely forgotten about the few before. 'The few I missed at the start of the second half, when you're watching the clips back with the boys at the Wednesday training, you're like, 'Why did I take that shot' or, 'What was I doing there?' 'You nearly forget about them and I think that's an ability and a skill that you develop over the years. 'Not getting too high and not getting too low with your shots or your chances or whatever it is because the game's so fast. 'There's no time. A younger Sam maybe would've dwelled on them and let it get to me and affect me. 'But I suppose now as I've grown as a player, I've definitely learned to just move on and forget about it.' Louth have a free shot tomorrow. And their star man is full of belief ahead of their trip to Ballybofey for a battle of the Ulster and Leinster champs. They are familiar foes too with Louth asking plenty of questions of Jim McGuinness' side in an All-Ireland quarter-final loss last year. Mulroy said: 'I will putting that message to the group that we're not going up to Ballybofey for the craic or to fulfil a fixture. 'We're in a preliminary quarter-final for the All-Ireland series and we played in a quarter-final at Croke Park last year, so it's a case of let's try and go better again this year and progress as a team. 'It won't be, 'Let Donegal go through into a quarter-final'. 'It was either Killarney, Croke Park against Dublin or Ballybofey against Donegal so the options weren't massively in our favour. 'It was always going to be a tough test no matter who we got, but you see there's an opportunity and you try to say how are we going to go about winning this game. 'That's the case now. so we'll do our best to prepare and hopefully we'll give it our all.'
