Cameron Young extends lead to 3 shots at Wyndham Championship
Young knocked in a 6-foot birdie putt on the par-3 16th when he returned to complete the storm-delayed second round at Sedgefield Country Club. He got up-and-down for par after driving into the rough on the 17th and closed with a par.
Young was at 15-under 125. He is widely considered the best player without a win on a major tour, having finished runner-up seven times, including a World Golf Championship and at the British Open at St. Andrews.
Defending champion Aaron Rai, who led Friday evening one shot behind, took double bogey on the 16th hole. He wound up four shots out of the lead.
Mac Meissner, Joel Dahmen and Sungjae Im were three shots behind.
The cut came at 3-under 137. This is the final tournament of the regular season that determines the 70 players who advance to the postseason. Among those who are left out of the lucrative FedEx Cup playoffs are Keith Mitchell, Max Homa and Sahith Theegala, who all missed the cut.
Homa and Theegala were on the U.S. team at the Presidents Cup just 10 months ago.
Danish twins Rasmus and Nicolai Hojgaard are still in the mix, but just barely. The cut was looking at 4-under par at one point. Both finished on 3 under and will now have 36 holes to play well enough to try to move into the top 70 — Nicolai is at No. 71, Rasmus at No. 82.
Adam Scott is No. 85 and made the cut with one shot to spare. The third round was scheduled for threesomes off both sides Saturday afternoon.

One-match ban leaves England's Packer available for Women's Rugby World Cup opener
LONDON (AP) — Flanker Marlie Packer will be available for England's opening match in the Women's Rugby World Cup after she received a one-match ban on Sunday. Stand-in captain Packer was sent off on Saturday during a 97-7 win over Spain in a World Cup warmup in Leicester. In a ruck clearout, her shoulder targeted and bent the leg of fullback Claudia Pena. Packer didn't accept it was a red card offense at her disciplinary hearing but the panel disagreed and considered the foul play reckless. She will miss England's final warmup against France next Saturday. England opens the World Cup against the United States on Aug. 22 in Sunderland. ___ AP rugby:

Stephanie Kyriacou already made an ace at the Women's British. Then she assisted on another
PORTHCAWL, Wales (AP) — Stephanie Kyriacou played a role in a pair of aces at the Women's British Open this week. She made the first hole-in-one of the championship at Royal Porthcawl. And on Sunday, she assisted on the other. Mimi Rhodes of England made a hole-in-one on the par-3 fifth hole when her tee shot glanced off the golf ball belonging to Kyriacou and caromed right into the cup in the final round. Her shot would have rolled by if not for Kyriacou's golf ball being there. Kyriacou had hit first and nearly made her second ace until the ball rolled just left of the hole, inches away. Kyriacou made a hole-in-one on the par-3 eighth in the second round on Friday. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. ___ AP golf:
