Friday’s other Pro golf results

TRAVELERS CHAMPIONSHIP

CROMWELL, CONN.

Daniel Berger says he’s healthy again and hoping to regain the form that helped him to his first PGA Tour title two months ago. Last year’s rookie of the year followed his first-round 66 with a 67 on Friday for a share of the lead in the Travelers Championship. He matched 2012 Travelers champion Marc Leishman, Russell Henley and Tyrone Van Aswegen at 7-under 133. Leishman shot 68, Henley shot 65, and Van Aswegen 66. Berger strained his shoulder at the U.S. Open after winning in Memphis at the St. Jude Classic, his fourth top-10 finish in seven starts. The injury forced him to withdraw after hitting his opening tee shot at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and he didn’t return until last week at the PGA Championship. Four players, including 49-year-old University of Hartford graduate Jerry Kelly, were a shot behind.

3M CHAMPIONSHIP

BLAINE, MINN.

Monday qualifier Glen Day shot a 7-under 65 in perfect conditions to take the first-round lead in the PGA Tour Champions’ 3M Championship. On Monday, he topped the five qualifiers with a 7-under 64 at nearby Victory Links. On Friday playing in the first group off the first tee at TPC Twin Cities, the 50-year-old Day had four straight late birdies in his bogey-free round. Jeff Maggert and Rod Spittle shot 66, and two-time champion Bernhard Langer was at 67 along with Colin Montgomerie, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Woody Austin, Kevin Sutherland, Carlos Franco, Scott Dunlap, Bart Bryant and Monday qualifier Jean-Francois Remesy. Day made a 30-foot birdie putt on the par-4 second and ran in a 10-footer on the par-5 third. He holed a 6-footer on par-4 11th, and made four straight on Nos. 14-17 — holing putts of 4, 25, 8 and 10 feet.

U.S. WOMEN’S AMATEUR

SPRINGFIELD, PA.

South Korea’s Eun Jeong Seong and Italy’s Virginia Elena Carta advanced to the all-international U.S. Women’s Amateur semifinals, keeping alive their bids for rare season sweeps. The 16-year-old Seong is trying to become the first player to win the event and U.S. Girls’ Junior in the same season. The 19-year-old Carta — the oldest of the final four — is attempting to become the second player to win the tournament and NCAA individual title in the same year.

PAUL LAWRIE MATCH PLAY

NORTH BERWICK, SCOTLAND

Chris Wood and Matt Fitzpatrick were both eliminated in the Paul Lawrie Match Play, leaving their chances of competing for Europe at the Ryder Cup in the jeopardy. Wood lost 2 and 1 to England’s Daniel Brooks in the round of 32, and Fitzpatrick dropped a 4-and-3 decision to Spain’s Alejandro Canizares in the last 16.
