ON THE LINKS Saturday’s pro golf results

WELLS FARGO CHAMPIONSHIP

WILMINGTON, N.C.

Patrick Reed birdied his final two holes for a 5-under 67 to surge into the lead Saturday at the Wells Fargo Championship, but not by much. With one round remaining at Eagle Point, the tournament remains wide open, even for Dustin Johnson. Reed stuffed a short iron into 4 feet on No. 17 and reached the 580-yard 18th hole in two for a two-putt birdie, giving him a one-shot lead over John Rahm of Spain and Alex Noren of Sweden. Noren missed a 5-foot birdie putt on the last hole that would have tied Reed at 8-under 208. Noren and Rahm each shot 69. Seventeen players were within four shots of the lead. That includes Phil Mickelson (69) and Johnson, who had a 67 despite missing a half-dozen chances from inside 15 feet on pure greens.

PGA TOUR CHAMPIONS INSPERITY INVITATIONAL

THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS

John Daly shot a bogey-free 7-under 65 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead over Kenny Perry in the PGA Tour Champions’ Insperity Invitational. The 51-year-old Daly is trying to win for the first time on the senior tour — and for the first time since the PGA Tour’s 2004 Buick Invitational. He birdied five of the first seven holes on the back nine and closed with two pars to reach 11-under 133. Perry eagled the par-5 first hole in a 65. Jerry Smith was another stroke behind after a 66. Tommy Armour III was 8 under after a 67, and Miguel Angel Jimenez followed at 8 under after a 66. Fred Couples (68) topped the group at 6 under.

LPGA LORENA OCHOA MATCH PLAY

MEXICO CITY

Michelle Wie rallied to beat Angel Yin on Saturday in the Lorena Ochoa Match Play to join Ariya Jutanugarn, Sei Young Kim and Mi Jung Hur in the semifinals. Four down after 11 holes at Club de Golf Mexico, Wie twice rallied to tie the long-hitting Yin and won with a birdie on the par-5 20th hole. Wie will face the third-ranked Jutanugarn, a 19-hole winner over Cristie Kerr in the event that switched from stroke to match play and moved from November. Wie is winless since the 2014 U.S. Women’s Open. She won the then-Lorena Ochoa Invitational in stroke play in 2009 in Guadalajara for her first tour title. Jutanugarn lost a 3-up lead to Kerr before finishing off the 39-year-old American with a par — after Kerr missed a 4-footer — on the 19th hole. Kerr won three weeks ago in Hawaii and lost to Haru Nomura last week on the sixth hole of a playoff in Texas. Hur had two 1-up victories, knocking off top-ranked Lydia Ko in the round of 16 in the morning and edging Shanshan Feng 1 up in the afternoon. Kim beat Karine Icher 5 and 4.

GOLFSIXES

ST. ALBANS, ENGLAND

With music blaring around the first tee, English golfer Andy Sullivan — donning two giant foam hands — emerged through bursts of smoke before high-fiving spectators and meeting a dancing pink mascot with a jumping chest-bump. The European Tour took a break from the norm at the inaugural GolfSixes event, a six-hole match play tournament featuring two-man teams from 16 countries. England, Denmark, Scotland, Thailand, Portugal, Australia, Italy and France progressed from the group stage to the quarterfinals, which take place Sunday along with the semifinals and final at the Centurion Club at St. Albans, southern England. Keith Pelley, chief executive of the European Tour since 2015, is striving to broaden the appeal of golf in an increasingly crowded marketplace within sports.
