Harrington's chip-in on 18 leaves him tied (again) with Hensby, Cink at US Senior Open
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Padraig Harrington chipped in from 20 yards off the green on the 18th hole Saturday to salvage a floundering round and pull back into a tie for the lead with Stewart Cink and Mark Hensby at the U.S. Senior Open. Harrington's chip-in for birdie capped a round of 2-under 68 and put him in the same spot he was in to start — tied with the same two opponents he played with over another tricky day at the Broadmoor that included wind, rain, even a flash of lightning that pulled the players off the course for a half-hour. 'We could've taken the day off,' Harrington said as he shook hands to wrap up a day of twists and turns. Hensby's 68 included another four birdies, along with an eagle, to bring his total to 19 for the tournament. But his best look of all — a 6-foot uphill attempt that on No. 18 that came as the course was still buzzing from Harrington's shot — fell far off to the right and he settled for par. Cink's included a third shot on the par-3 16th that came from farther away than the second after a misread on a putt from just off the green curled some 30 feet away from the hole. Cink's bogey there dropped him into a tie, and he finished with a pair of pars. They were at 8-under 202. One shot behind the leaders was Thomas Bjorn, whose 66 matched the best round of the day and set up what appears to be a four-man fight for the title. Steve Flesch (67) was next at 4 under and Steven Alker's 66 left him at 3 under, tied with Miguel Angel Jimenez (68) and Paul Stankowski (67). One more shot back was Billy Andrade (70), who collapsed in agony after his approach on No. 17, yet somehow still made par there. That came about an hour after his tee shot on No. 13 slammed into a tree about 40 yards left of the tee box and came to rest in the closely mown strip of grass between the tee and the fairway. Behind him, Harrington needed two chips from the deep rough on the par-3 12th and made a double bogey to fall out of the lead. Another bogey came on 15 when he babied a 5-foot par putt and it curled away well before the hole. Harrington yanked his tee shot on 18 into the rough left of the fairway and he had no choice but to hack out over the lake and short of the green. But he turned a possible bogey into an unlikely birdie and guaranteed himself a spot in the final group Sunday, where he'll try to add to the U.S. Senior Open title he won in 2022. ___

Quinn Priester throws 7 dominant innings as Brewers blank Rockies 5-0
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Quinn Priester struck out a career-high 11 batters in seven innings of one-hit ball, Joey Ortiz homered for the third time in four games, and the Milwaukee Brewers extended their winning streak to four with a 5-0 victory over the major league-worst Colorado Rockies on Saturday. Priester (6-2) allowed a one-out single to Michael Toglia in the fifth and walked a pair while throwing 95 pitches in the longest and best start of his three major league seasons. Aaron Ashby and DL Hall completed the one-hitter. Brice Turang had three hits, including a run-scoring infield single in the first and an RBI double in the fifth. Ortiz hit a two-run homer in the fourth. Antonio Senzatela (3-11) allowed five runs on eight hits and three walks in 4 2/3 innings. Key moment Facing the top of Colorado's lineup for the third time, Priester had an 0-2 count on Tyler Freeman to start the sixth before throwing four straight balls. He followed that by getting Jordan Beck to ground out, then struck out the next two batters on seven pitches. Key stat Milwaukee's pitching staff has an NL-leading 3.27 ERA over the last 31 games, during which the Brewers are 22-9. Up next Chad Patrick (3-7, 3.72 ERA) tries to help the Brewers complete a three-game sweep when he faces the Rockies' German Marquez (3-8, 6.11) on Sunday. ___ AP MLB:

Seeking first LPGA Tour victories, Schmelzel and Valenzuela team to take Dow Championship lead
Associated Press MIDLAND, Mich. (AP) — Sarah Schmelzel and Albane Valenzuela took the third-round lead Saturday in the Dow Championship, shooting a 2-under 68 in alternate-shot play to move into position for their first LPGA Tour victories. Schmelzel and Valenzuela had a 13-under 197 total at Midland Country Cup heading into the better-ball final round. They opened with an alternate-shot 68 on Thursday and had a best-ball 61 on Friday. 'You're kind of on pins and needles most of the day, just hoping you don't get your partner in trouble,' Schmelzel said. 'Just super solid. I feel like we had really good attitudes throughout the entire day. I think both of us took every single shot as it came.' The teams of Jin Hee Im-Somi Lee (68) and Manon De Roey-Pauline Roussin-Bouchard (69) were a stroke back. 'I'm very proud of us,' De Roey said. 'We hung in there. We fought until the end.' Jennifer Kupcho and Leona Maguire, the second-round leaders after a 60, birdied the final two holes for a 72 that left them tied for fourth at 11 under with Lauren Hartlage-Brooke Matthews (66) and Sung Hyun Park-Ina Yoon (67) . Kupcho won in 2022 with Lizette Salas. 'Just try and go low and try and post a number early and see what happens.' Maguire said. 'I think it was nice to see two putts go in at the end.' Lexi Thompson-Meghan Kang (68) and Rio Takeda-Miyu Yamashita (67) were 10 under. Defending champions Ruoning Yin and Jeeno Thitikul, both among the top five in the women's world ranking, were 9 under after a 67. Schmelzel and Valenzuela parred the final seven holes. They had four birdies and two bogeys in the round. 'I feel like we had a really good day,' Valenzuela said. 'Our goal in foursomes was just to get a couple under or maybe a little bit better. We had a few mistakes, and that's going to happen in this format. We also did a lot of really good stuff.' ___ AP golf:
