Protecting the lead: Lehman co-leads The Ally Challenge

Tom Lehman played in ten Buick Open’s dating back to his first in 1983 so he knows exactly what Warwick Hills offers – a lot of birdie opportunities. It led to a bunched leaderboard at the top that includes Lehman after he sank a 7-foot birdie on 18 to get in the clubhouse at 10-under par. After a second straight 5-under, 67, he’ll try to protect his spot at the top heading into Sunday. “There’s so many guys close and there’s so many good scores being shot, the guys are bunched up here at the top,â€� said Lehman, who won The Open Championship in 1996. “I think when you’re in or near the lead, that’s really good.  Whether you’re tied for the lead or a shot behind or two shots behind, you know, it’s all the same.â€� Lehman will go for his 12th PGA TOUR Champions victory. He won the Principal Charity Classic in early June. Lehman was sharp on Saturday with six birdies and just one bogey. He’s made just two bogeys through 36 holes. The five-time PGA TOUR winner shares the lead with Scott McCarron and Jeff Maggert heading into the final round. The leaders will play together starting at 1:35 p.m. “If you drive it well, you’re going to be able to attack pins, and the greens are so perfect, you’re going to make putts.  Scores tend to be low here and there’s going to be a lot of guys shooting low, so there’s the possibility for fireworks tomorrow.â€� Maggert will aim for his first win since the 2015 DICK’S Sporting Goods Open and will be relying on his 14 years playing the Buick Open at Warwick Hills. “I did play a lot of good rounds here in the Buick Open days, so looking for one more good round tomorrow.  I feel like I left a good one out there today, so hopefully I’ll make it up tomorrow.â€� Scott McCarron Notes • It’s the second time he shot 63 in his last three rounds, as he won the Shaw Charity Classic after carding a 7-under 63 on Sunday. • Should he go on to win, McCarron would be the first player to win back-to-back events since Bernhard Langer, who did it twice in 2017. • Entering this week, McCarron has four wins in nine tries when he starts the final round as a leader/co-leader. He is 0-for-2 when in that position this year (T3/KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship, T4/Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS Championship). • All eight of McCarron’s wins on PGA TOUR Champions have been by one stroke or by playoff. In two of his victories, he opened with a score in the 70s (70/2018 American Family Insurance Championship, 71/2017 DICK’S Sporting Goods Open). • McCarron will play in Sunday’s final group for the fifth time in 20 starts this season. Mark O’Meara Notes • O’Meara started on No. 10 and birdied seven of his first eight holes en route to a 6-under 30. The round of 8-under 64 is one off his career-best on PGA TOUR Champions, and it’s his best score since he shot 7-under 64 at the 2016 Pacific Links Bear Mountain Championship. •    His career-low round in 18 starts at the Buick Open was 64 (R3/1984), and his best finish was T2 in 2002. • O’Meara is the fifth-oldest player in the field (he will be 61 years, 8 months, 3 days on Sunday). Should he go on to win, he would be the seventh-oldest winner in PGA TOUR Champions history. Entering this week, 19 players have won 26 tournaments at the age of 60 or older. • O’Meara has two career wins on PGA TOUR Champions, the last being the 2010 Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS Championship. If he wins Sunday, it would mark the second-longest gap between victories in Tour history (7 years, 11 months, 6 days). • In 13 starts this year, his best finish was T13 at the Regions Tradition and Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf, and he is currently 66th in the Charles Schwab Cup To come play on the PGA TOUR Champions and finish 40th or 50th is not my cup of tea. Now, I have to go out and practice, come out and compete a little more and that’s my goal for next year.

In this week’s gallery, we take a look at some cool customs, interesting wedge stampings, and captivating covers. Jason Dufner has some fun with fellow Cobra staffer Bryson DeChambeau with his “King of Math Gymnastics� stamped wedge. Additionally, Dufner (as with other Cobra staffers) has a limited-edition PLAYERS Championship-inspired bag this week. Paul Casey’s custom alligator head cover from Dormie continues the trend of the Englishman sporting bold selections by the Canadian company. Erik Von Rooyen’s Callaway Jaws MD5 wedge has custom dots in the colors of the South African flag. John Rahm has his nickname (Rahmbo) on his TaylorMade MG2 wedges. Were that your nickname, you probably would too! Byeong Hun An, a member of the International team, is still rocking his Presidents Cup putter cover. Gary Woodland proudly sports a University of Kansas Jayhawk putter cover. Vokey’s Aaron Dill had some fun stamping Ryan Armour’s wedges.

Ryder Cup: Pairings, tee times for Day 1Ryder Cup: Pairings, tee times for Day 1

The Ryder Cup is finally here. After days of pomp and circumstance, the matches get underway from France at 8:10 a.m. local time Friday. The United States brought the Cup with it across the Atlantic after a dominant victory two years ago at Hazeltine. The visitors will have to buck a trend if they want to take the trophy back home, though. The U.S. hasn’t won on foreign soil since 1993. It’s also been a quarter-century since the U.S. scored back-to-back wins in the Ryder Cup. This young American team arrives in France on a three-year winning streak that dates back to the 2015 Presidents Cup. The U.S. team beat those three opponents by a whopping 51.5-36.5 margin. The U.S. will have its hands full with the home team, though. Le Golf National is an annual stop on the European Tour, giving Team Europe a marked home-course advantage. The last two French Opens at Le Golf National were won by members of this year’s team. The course emphasizes accuracy over distance, negating the United States’ power advantage. All of those statistics and history go out the window once Friday’s morning Four-Balls session gets underway, though. Pairings/matchups: Friday morning Four-Balls session Brooks Koepka-Tony Finau (USA) vs. Justin Rose-Jon Rahm (Europe), 2:10 a.m. ET The FedExCup champion will square off against the likely PGA TOUR Player of the Year in the opening match of the Ryder Cup. They’ll each be joined by a rookie in this Four-Ball match. Rose and Rahm rank second and third on TOUR in birdie average, respectively. Koepka and Finau both rank in the top 11 of that statistic, as well. Brooks Koepka FedExCup ranking: 9 Ryder Cup record: 3-1-0 Four-Balls: 1-1-0 Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee: 9th Strokes Gained: Approach: 93rd Strokes Gained: Putting: 113th Tony Finau FedExCup ranking: 6 Rookie Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee: 19th Strokes Gained: Approach: 24th Strokes Gained: Putting: 65th Justin Rose FedExCup: 1 Ryder Cup Record: 11-6-2 Four-Balls: 4-3-0 Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee: 14th Strokes Gained: Approach: 29th Strokes Gained: Putting: 17th Jon Rahm FedExCup: 23 Rookie Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee: 3rd Strokes Gained: Approach: 80th Strokes Gained: Putting: 135th Dustin Johnson-Rickie Fowler (USA) vs. Rory McIlroy-Thorbjorn Olesen (Europe), 2:25 a.m. ET Johnson leads the PGA TOUR in birdie average (4.7). The No. 1 player in the world ranking heads a strong team that is looking to turn around its fortunes in this format. Johnson and Fowler are a combined 2-5-2 in this format. McIlroy will be responsible to take pressure off Olesen, the only rookie in this match. Dustin Johnson FedExCup ranking: 4 Ryder Cup record: 6-5-0 Four-Balls: 2-4-0 Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee: 1st Strokes Gained: Approach: 5th Strokes Gained: Putting: 30th Rickie Fowler FedExCup ranking: 17 Ryder Cup record: 2-4-5 Four-Balls: 0-1-2 Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee: 52nd Strokes Gained: Approach: 30th Strokes Gained: Putting: 40th Rory McIlroy FedExCup: 13 Ryder Cup Record: 9-6-4 Four-Balls: 3-2-2 Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee: 6th Strokes Gained: Approach: 50th Strokes Gained: Putting: 85th Thorbjorn Olesen FedExCup: NR Rookie Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee: +0.13 Strokes Gained: Approach: +0.35 Strokes Gained: Putting: +0.33 * – didn’t play enough rounds to be ranked in PGA TOUR statistics Jordan Spieth-Justin Thomas (USA) vs. Paul Casey-Tyrrell Hatton (Europe), 2:40 a.m. ET The good friends first represented the United States in France when they were 14. Now they’re doing it at the Ryder Cup. Thomas will have the comfort of making his Ryder Cup debut with Spieth by his side. Thomas performed admirably in his first professional team competition, going 3-1 at last year’s Presidents Cup. The European side also features one veteran, Casey, and a rookie in Hatton. Jordan Spieth FedExCup: 31 Ryder Cup Record: 4-3-2 Four-Balls: 3-1-0 Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee: 54th Strokes Gained: Approach: 26th Strokes Gained: Putting: 136th Justin Thomas FedExCup: 7 Rookie Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee: 30th Strokes Gained: Approach: 3rd Strokes Gained: Putting: 44th Paul Casey FedExCup: 25 Ryder Cup Record: 3-2-4 Four-Balls: 1-0-3 Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee: 77th Strokes Gained: Approach: 13th Strokes Gained: Putting: 89th Tyrrell Hatton FedExCup: 54 Rookie Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee: 73rd Strokes Gained: Approach: 77th Strokes Gained: Putting: 47th Patrick Reed-Tiger Woods (USA) vs. Francesco Molinari-Tommy Fleetwood (Europe), 2:55 a.m. ET They both wear red and black. They’re both Masters champions. And they will carry the anchor for the United States team in the opening session. The Ryder Cup brings out Reed’s best.
