Dean Burmester earned his second European Tour title at the Tenerife Open, sealing a five-stroke victory with a stunning nine-under-par final round display at the Costa Adeje course in Tenerife. The South African began the day one shot back at Golf Costa Adeje, with a crowded chasing pack as 18 players sat within five strokes of the summit.
It was what Jim Ross would call a "slobber knocker" of a day at Whistling Straights as birdies were banged in left, right and centre. It was a battle royal for the top spot, fought for ferociously, with the lead changing from one moment to the next.
It certainly was moving day at the Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give, for Nelly Korda. The American shot a third-round ten-under 62 to catapult herself into a three shot lead over Ireland’s Leona Maguire.

Ten years to the day of his first major victory Rory McIlroy finally looked like he'd got his swagger back on moving day at the 121st U.S. Open. The man from Northern Ireland's promised to "freewheel" ahead of the event and the approach appears to be paying dividends.
Christine Wolf shot an excellent five-under-par 67 in the third round of the Hero Women’s Indian Open to take a one stroke lead into the final round at DLF Golf and Country Club in Gurugram.

Lake Nona Golf & Country Club member Lydia Ko continued to show her liking for her home course at the Gainbridge LPGA, taking the 36-hole lead on ten-under-par. In contrast to her eagle start in round one Ko opened the second day with a bogey on the 10th hole but quickly bounced back.
