Rachel Rohanna followed a strong opening round with a 2-under-par 70 in Round 2 to remain in second place, albeit tied, in the Symetra Tour’s PHC Classic in Milwaukee, Wisc., Saturday.

Rohanna, a Waynesburg High School graduate, is 7 under and two strokes behind leader Brittany Marchand. Krista Puisite and Lauren Wearm are tied with Rohanna after turning in rounds of 67 and 66, respectively, over the 6,494-yard Brown Deer Park Golf Course.

Rohanna made the turn at 3-under for the day, securing birdies on both par-5s and the par-3 eighth. She had two bogeys, six pars and a birdie on the par-4 18th to finish the round.

Two share lead at Bridgestone: Thomas Pieters ended a roller-coaster round with a 30-foot birdie putt for a 4-under 66 that gave him a share of the lead with Zach Johnson going into the final round of the Bridgestone Invitational.

Pieters built a big lead early with five birdies on his opening eight holes at Firestone, only to run into trouble off the tee. He made only three pars over his last 11 holes and wound up with his best chance yet to win in America.

Johnson, who hasn’t won since capturing his second major at St. Andrews in 2015, holed a 10-foot birdie putt on the 18th for a 65.

They were at 9-under 201.

Scott Hend, who got into his first Bridgestone Invitational on a loophole, shot a 63 and was one back.

Goydos moves into tie for lead: Paul Goydos shot a tournament-record 60 and is tied with Kenny Perry and Gene Sauers after two rounds of the PGA Tour Champions’ 3M Championship.

Goydos, who shot 59 at the PGA’s 2010 John Deere Classic, was 7-under through 12 holes, before birdies at 15, 16 and 17 and an eagle on the par-5 18th. He needed one putt on 16 greens and two on the others at the TPC Twin Cities.

Perry, a co-leader with Mike Goodes after round one, shot his second straight 65. He won the tournament in 2014 and 2015.

Sauers shot an 8-under 64.

Scott Dunlap (63) and Brandt Jobe (64) were one shot behind; Steve Stricker (63) and Marco Dawson (66) were two back.

Goodes shot 68 and was one of seven players trailing by three shots.

Kim leads Women’s British Open: I.K. Kim answered the challenge with a 6-under 66 in the Women’s British Open to build a six-shot lead as she goes after her first major championship.

Kim faced a battle before she even teed off Saturday at Kingsbarns Links. Inbee Park tied a course record with a 64 to get within one shot. Stacy Lewis shot a 65 and was only two shots behind.

Kim was equally impressive. The 29-year-old South Korean played bogey-free and was at 17-under 199. She was six shots clear of Georgia Hall of England and Moriya Jutanugarn. Lexi Thompson shot 74 and was 10 shots behind.

Kim’s best shot at a major was the Kraft Nabisco five years ago when she missed a 1-foot putt, and then lost in a playoff.

Wheatcroft tied for 50th: Washington’s Steve Wheatcroft has 17 points and is tied for 50th using the Modified Stableford scoring system at the 2017 Barracuda Championship.

Greg Owen has 38 points and a five-point lead over Ben Martin in the race to the top of the leaderboard.
