Kim, Reavie share lead in Canadian Open

Anthony Kim made nine birdies and an eagle in 21 holes Saturday in the Canadian Open for a share of the lead with Chez Reavie during the suspended third round at rain-softened Glen Abbey in Oakville, Ontario.

Kim, tied for 26th at 4 under par through 15 holes when second-round play was suspended Friday night, went birdie-birdie-eagle Saturday morning for a 2-under 69, then added a bogey-free 64 in the third round to match Reavie at 15 under.

Reavie was 2 under through 16 holes when darkness ended play on the course saturated by more than 8 inches of rain in a week.

Also: Angela Park birdied the final three holes for a 4-under 68 to keep a one-shot lead after the third round of the Evian Masters in Evian-Les-Bains, France.

The 19-year-old Park, who has dual Brazilian and American citizenship, had a total of 14-under 202. Taiwan-born Candie Kung, who also has U.S. citizenship, was one shot back after a 67.

Julie Inkster of the United States, the 2003 champion, was third at 11 under after a 69, her third straight sub-70 round.

John Cook took a one-stroke lead in the Senior British Open in Troon, Scotland, shooting a 4-under 67 to capitalize on the midround collapse of fellow American Bruce Vaughan.

Vaughan birdied the par-3 eighth to take a three-shot lead at 7 under but then bogeyed four straight, and Cook rolled in a 4-foot birdie at 13 for a two-stroke lead.

The 50-year-old Cook, who was runner-up to Nick Faldo at the British Open at Muirfield 16 years ago, goes into today's final round at 6-under 207, leading Vaughan by one shot as he chases his first major on the Seniors tour.

Former champion Mikael Lundberg shot a 4-under 68 to take a one-stroke lead after the third round of the Russian Open in Nakhabino.

Lundberg, who shared the overnight lead with fellow Swede Jarmo Sandelin, has a 17-under 199 total.

Cameron Peck won the U.S. Junior Amateur title 10 and 8 over Evan Beck for the largest margin of victory in four years.

The 17-year-old from Olympia, Wash., won six of the first eight holes at Shoal Creek, Ala., and cruised over Beck, also 17, from Virginia Beach, Va.

HORSE RACING

Commentator claims Whitney Handicap

Commentator scored a dominant, front-running victory in the $750,000 Whitney Handicap at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Spring, N.Y.

Sent to the lead heading into the first turn, Commentator, ridden by John Velazquez, set a moderate pace and was never threatened while running 1 1/8 miles in 1 minute, 50.23 seconds. He widened the advantage to four lengths over Student Council at the wire.

Commentator is now ensured a spot in the Breeders' Cup Classic.

Also: Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Big Brown turned in his fastest workout since returning to training after his puzzling last-place finish in the Belmont Stakes.

The colt breezed six furlongs in 1:10.86 under exercise rider Michelle Nevin at Aqueduct in New York.

Big Brown is scheduled to return to racing Aug. 3 in the Haskell Invitational at Monmouth.

OLYMPICS

Morgan Hamm to learn his punishment Monday

The International Gymnastics Federation made no decision on the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency's punishment concerning gymnast Morgan Hamm.

USA Gymnastics president Steve Penny said he expected an announcement Monday.

USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic Committee had already said that the warning would not affect Hamm's spot on the team for the Beijing Games.

USADA announced on July 3 that Hamm had been warned for a May 24 positive test for glucocorticosteroid, a cortisonelike anti-inflammatory. The drug is allowed if an athlete gets a therapeutic-use exemption, but Hamm had failed to do that.

Also: David Boudia and Thomas Finchum scored a career-high 464.04 points to win the 10-meter synchronized platform title at the U.S. national diving championships in Pasadena, Calif., in their final meet before the Beijing Olympics.

Boudia and Finchum earned three 10s and received at least one 9.0 on all six of their dives.

The U.S. Olympic Committee has opened an inquiry into allegations of abuse by a high-ranking USA Judo official.

An independent counsel will investigate the accusations against Fletcher Thornton.

The New York Times reported that in sworn affidavits signed in 1981, several young athletes accused Thornton of drugging and sexually molesting teenage competitors he coached in the late 1970s.

Also: Fourth-seeded Dinara Safina of Russia upset No. 1 seed Jelena Jankovic of Serbia 7-6 (3), 6-1 in one semifinal match of the East West Bank Classic in Carson, Calif.

Safina advanced to today's final, where she will face 10th-seeded Flavia Pennetta of Italy, a 3-6, 6-2, 7-5 winner over Bethanie Mattek of the United States in the other semifinal.

Sara Errani beat third-seeded Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark 6-4, 6-4 in the semifinals of the Slovenia Open in Portoroz to reach her second straight final.
