Dustin Johnson, Luke List share lead at Canadian Open

Dustin Johnson started and finished the day tied with Luke List for the Canadian Open lead. The U.S. Open champion had to make up a lot of ground to do it.

Johnson had a double bogey and two bogeys on his first holes Friday in windy conditions at sun-baked Glen Abbey at Oakville. He rebounded with six birdies and had a late bogey in a 1-under 71.

List also shot a 71, birdieing the par-five 16th and 18th holes after making three bogeys in a four-hole stretch early on the back nine.

Canadian amateur Jared du Toit, former Arizona State teammate Jon Rahm and Kelly Kraft were a stroke back, also each shooting 71.

Du Toit made the turn tied for the lead at seven under, then had a triple-bogey eight on No. 2 and a bogey on No. 5. The Sun Devils senior birdied the next three holes and closed with a par.

Top-ranked defending champion Jason Day was one over, following his opening 69 with a 76.

U.S. collects three points at UL International event

Lexi Thompson and Cristie Kerr helped the United States rebound in the UL International Crown in Gurnee, Ill., and Melissa Reid had a gutsy effort for England after her ill partner was sidelined.

Thompson and Kerr routed Thailand’s Ariya Jutanugarn and Porani Chutichai, 4 and 3, for the Americans’ first two points after they were shut out in the first session of the LPGA Tour event. The U.S. almost got a sweep, but Gerina Piller and Stacy Lewis each missed a birdie putt on No. 18 18 and had to settle for a single point against Moriya Jutanugarn and Pornanong Phatlum.

With Charley Hull sidelined by a fever and complications from asthma, Reid was all alone for her four-ball match against Japan’s Haru Nomara and Mika Miyazato. Reid took it all the way to 18, where Nomura made a matching birdie to close out a 1-up win.

Holly Clyburn and Jodi Ewart Shadoff halved their match against Ai Suzuki and Ayaka Watanabe, helping seventh-seeded England to the Pool B lead. Thailand and Japan were one back with four points apiece, and the U.S. was last after it finished sixth in the inaugural event in 2014.

Taiwan topped Pool A with six points after it split its two matches with top-seeded South Korea. Candie Kung and Ssu-Chia Cheng beat Amy Yang and In Gee Chun 2 and 1, but Yani Tseng and Teresa Lu trailed all day long in a 4-and-2 loss to Sei Young Kim and So Yeon Ryu. South Korea was second with four points, and Australia and China were tied for third with three apiece.

There are eight more four-ball matches Saturday at Merit Club. The top two teams in each pool and the winner of wild-card playoff between the third-place teams advance to Sunday’s singles matches.

Durant, Idoki tied for lead at Senior British Open

Joe Durant birdied the par-four 18th hole Friday for a three-under 68 and a share of the Senior British Open lead with Kohki Idoki.

The 52-year-old Durant birdied three of the first five holes on the back nine, the second two on the par-five 12th and 14th at Carnoustie Golf Links in Scotland in 10-15 mph wind with some light rain.

Durant teamed with Billy Andrade to win the 2015 Legends of Golf for his lone PGA Tour Champions title. The four-time PGA Tour winner has five top-10 finishes this season, including a runner-up finish to Bernhard Langer in the major Constellation Senior Players in June.

Idoki, the 54-year-old Japanese player who won the 2013 Senior PGA Championship, had a 67 to match Durant at seven-under 137. He rebounded from a bogey on the par-four 17th with a chip-in birdie on 18.

Olin Browne (66), Jesper Parnevik (68), Carlos Franco (69), Tom Byrum (69) and Peter Fowler (69) were a stroke back, Mark O’Meara (70) topped the group at five under, and Tom Lehman (67) and Miguel Angel Jimenez (70) were another stroke behind.

The 17-year-old Lee, from Hermosa Beach, beat Waverly Whiston of San Diego, 4 and 3, in the quarterfinals and edged co-qualifying medalist Hye-Jin Choi of South Korea 1 up in the semifinals. Lee won the 17th and 18th holes with birdies to top Choi.
