Jerry Kelly shoots 65, leads PGA Tour Champions major at Regions Tradition
Jerry Kelly is 18 holes away from a third PGA Tour Champions major. Kelly fired his second 65 in three days on Saturday to get to 15 under and take the outright 54-hole lead at the Regions Tradition.
Already with one win on the Champions tour in 2025, Kelly, 58, is looking for a second and his 14th win overall on the circuit. His previous two major wins came in the Kaulig Companies Championship in 2020 and 2022.
On Saturday, he sounded happy with his overall game.
"I'm happy that I found something that was working really well with the swing and the putter in the end. I really got back to my putting stroke and not worried about being too perfect and I putted better," he said. "It's just more of the same tomorrow, just got to keep the pedal down with these guys."
Y.E. Yang sits a shot back at Greystone Golf & Country Club in Birmingham, Alabama. He fired a 67 on Saturday and is 14 under. Steven Alker and Charlie Wi are tied for third at 13 under.
Alker also has a win this season, at the Cologuard Classic in Tucson, Arizona, where Kelly is the tournament ambassador. Alker, 54, is gunning for his 10th win overall on the circuit.
Tied for fifth at 12 under are three golfers: Angel Cabrera, Boo Weekley and Chris DiMarco.
First- and second-round leader Richard Green is now tied for 10th. He went bogey/double-bogey on Nos. 9 and 10 on his way to 3-over 75.
John Huston aced the 10th hole, his first hole of the round, with an 8-iron from 157 yards. It's the third time in 23 years that a player has made a hole-in-one on the first hole of his round.

Stephanie White Breaks Silence After Missing Chicago Sky Game
Stephanie White Breaks Silence After Missing Chicago Sky Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When the Indiana Fever took the court at the United Center on Saturday night, they did so without head coach Stephanie White. Advertisement Instead, assistant Austin Kelly stepped in, implementing the game plan that led to a decisive 79-52 victory over the Chicago Sky. On Monday, White addressed reporters in Indianapolis, offering her first public remarks on the circumstances that kept her away and her confidence in the staff she's assembled. 'I thought he (Kelly) was great," White said. "It's not a surprise. When you look at Austin and (assistant coach) Bri (January), both of them are ready to be head coaches in this league. ... They've grown, they've learned, they've taken advantage of their opportunities. And it's not a hesitation at all. If I can't be here, they're ready." White's remarks came after a weekend spent away tending to personal matters, which White briefly spoke on, saying, "It's helpful that we have such a great group that poured into me and helped give me strength. ... Our family's working through a hard time right now." Kelly, the former Sun assistant under White, and Briann January, the defensive stalwart who starred in Indiana's championship run in 2012 as a player, form a coaching tandem brimming with potential. Advertisement Kelly, who transitioned from collegiate roles at UT Arlington and Vanderbilt, earned his first head-coaching win on Saturday. January, who joined the staff in April, has already been instrumental in shoring up perimeter defense and veteran leadership on a young roster. Through eight games, Indiana averages 84.5 points per game while allowing just 76.4, both of which rank third in the WNBA. Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (right) and head coach Stephanie Faith Morgan-Imagn Images White's vote of confidence arrives as the Fever aim to right the ship without their star, Caitlin Clark, who has been out since May 24 with a quad injury. White announced Monday that Clark will not play in the Fever's next game. Advertisement Indiana is 2-2 in Clark's absence and 4-4 on the season. Looking ahead, the Fever head on the road Tuesday to face the 5-3 Atlanta Dream, hoping to build on Kelly's success.

Darren Clarke, Thomas Bjorn win PGA Tour Champions team event
MADISON, Wis. — European Ryder Cup captains and teammates Darren Clarke and Thomas Bjorn won the American Family Insurance Championship on Sunday, shooting a 7-under 64 in better-ball play for a four-stroke victory over four teams. The tournament hosted by Steve Stricker — who tied for second with brother-in-law Mario Tiziani — switched to the team format this year, giving the PGA Tour Champions its only team event. Clarke and Bjorn finished at 32-under 181 at TPC Wisconsin. They opened with a better-ball 59 and shot a 58 on Saturday in a scramble round. The 56-year-old Clarke, from Northern Ireland, won for the fifth time on the 50-and-over tour. The 54-year-old Bjorn, from Denmark, won his first Champions title. Striker and Tiziani closed with a 65 to match the teams of Alex Cejka-Soren Kjeldsen (59), Doug Barron-Dicky Pride (69) and Steve Flesch-Paul Goydos (64) at 28 under. Bernhard Langer and Steven Alker were another stroke back after a 63. Ernie Els, the winner last year in individual play, teamed with Tim Herron for a 66 that left them 26 under.
