(Reuters) – Lydia Ko put herself in strong position to win her third straight major championship when she earned a one-stroke lead after the third round at KMPG Women’s PGA Championship in Sammamish, Washington on Saturday. Tom Morris Jr. was 19 when he won his third British Open in 1870. Ko, despite a bogey at the final hole, carded 70 for a two-under 211 total, with Americans Lincicome (71) and Gerina Piller (71) the only other players under par through 54 holes.

By Frank Pingue CLEVELAND (Reuters) – The Golden State Warriors bounced back from an embarrassing road loss two days ago to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 108-97 on Friday and move one win away from a second consecutive NBA championship. The win was a devastating blow to LeBron James's Cavaliers, who lost their first home game of the postseason and now trail the best-of-seven NBA Finals 3-1 with Game Five scheduled for Monday in Oakland. "It was a great response from Game Three, where we were really embarrassed by our performance." Stephen Curry powered Golden State, who lost by 30 points on Wednesday, by scoring a game-high 38 while Kyrie Irving led the Cavaliers with 34 points.

Darren Clarke, the 2011 British Open winner from Northern Ireland, and Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee, with 18 triumphs worldwide, each withdrew Thursday from next week's US Open golf tournament at Oakmont. Clarke pulled out citing his duties as captain of the European Ryder Cup team that will defend the trophy later this year against the US at Hazeltine. "I'm currently dedicating all of my time to our preparations for the Ryder Cup and unfortunately the US Open is not the place to be when your game isn't 100 percent," Clarke said.

By Elisabeth O'Leary EDINBURGH (Reuters) – Scottish Muslims have invited Donald Trump to visit a mosque and learn about their faith during his visit to Scotland this month in the hope of changing his views. The presumptive Republican U.S. presidential candidate, whose mother was Scottish, last year proposed a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States as a response to Islamist attacks in Paris and California, causing a furor in Europe. Accepting a visit to learn about the Muslim community might help show that he is not so extreme, Edinburgh Central Mosque Imam Yayha Barry told Reuters.
