Luke List shot a four-under par 66 to hold a one-stroke lead at the Honda Classic on Saturday while Tiger Woods' 69 ensured he remained within striking distance. List, the co-leader on Friday, birdied the last after a fantastic bunker shot for a seven-under 203 through three rounds at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. PGA champion Justin Thomas (65) and Webb Simpson (66) were a stroke behind with Britain's Tommy Fleetwood (67) and American Jamie Lovemark (68) another shot adrift. Sweden's Alex Noren also was in the mix as he bounced back from a 75 to shoot 65, a closing eagle boosting him to four-under at 206. Woods, making his third start of the PGA Tour season after a year-long absence following back surgery, birdied his final hole for his first round in the 60s in nearly three years. He was tied for 11th at even par 210 despite two late bogeys. "Even though I shot 69, it was probably the highest score I could have shot today," the 14 times majo...

Russian Karen Khachanov outplayed Czech Tomas Berdych 6-3 6-2 to reach the Marseille Open final on Saturday, setting up a title showdown with Frenchman Lucas Pouille. World number 47 Khachanov was impeccable on serve, saving the meager three break points Berdych had throughout the duel. The 21-year-old has now beaten former world number four Berdych in both their meetings having also prevailed at last year's French Open. Pouille reached his second final of the season after a 6-3 7-6(6) defeat of Belarusian qualifier Ilya Ivashka.

Argentine Diego Schwartzman beat Nicolas Jarry 7-5 6-2 on Saturday to reach the final of the Rio Open and set up a showdown with Fernando Verdasco after the Spaniard beat Fabio Fognini 6-1 7-5. The semi-final results mean the tournament will have a new winner and give either Schwartzman or Verdasco their first ATP tour title in more than a year. Verdasco, at 34 the oldest of the four semi-finalists, broke Fognini in the first game of the match and then romped through the first set. Italian Fognini, who knocked out home favorite Thomaz Bellucci in the first round, improved in the second set but could not stop Verdasco from breaking in the decisive 12th game to wrap up the match. World number 23 Schwartzman was too good for Chilean Jarry, who was aiming to reach his first ATP final. The Argentine broke early in the first set before closing out the opener and then overran the 22-year-old in the second.

Japan's Shohei Ohtani had a rough outing in his spring training debut with the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday, giving up a home run and two runs in less than two innings. The right-handed pitcher, who is also a strong hitter and considered a genuine two-way prospect, struck out two and walked one in the erratic start against the Milwaukee Brewers at Tempe, Arizona. But the 23-year-old, who signed with the Angels in December, showed potential with his fastball topping 97 miles per hour. He had been scheduled to pitch two full innings, but left with one out in the second after throwing 31 pitches, 17 of them for strikes. Keon Broxton hit a lead-off home run to open Milwaukee's second innings. Ohtani did not bat and Angels manager Mike Scioscia said he was likely to play as a designated hitter early next week. He is the first player in nearly 100 years to attempt to play in the major leagues as a pitcher and hitter.

Sweden beat South Korea 8-3 to claim their third women's curling gold medal in four Winter Games on Sunday, ending the 'Garlic Girls' fairytale Olympic run that captivated the home nation. While Sweden confirmed their status as the dominant force in women's curling, Korea's silver marked a major Asian breakthrough in the sport with two teams on the podium after Japan defeated Britain on Saturday to take the bronze. The only previous Asian team to win an Olympic medal were China's women, who won bronze at the 2010 Vancouver Games. "Just thinking about the journey it makes me almost want to cry," said Sweden skip Anna Hasselborg "In 2015 we had this team together every single day since then we have worked so hard to reach this game "Team Kim has really worked well and worked hard for the last couple of years and we have a lot of respect in that team. "People ask if I'm surprised of them being in the final game, I was not surprise...
