Percy in hunt as big names rise at Senior PGA C'ship
And Australian journeyman Cameron Percy is still just three shots from the lead going into the last round despite shooting a four-over 76 in windy conditions at the tough Congressional Country Club course on Saturday.
Percy started the day tied for the lead, but opened with three bogeys and collected five more through his round.
Goosen (68) and Cabrera (70) were tied in front with American Jason Caron (71) and England's Phillip Archer (71), with Lee Westwood (68) and Stewart Cink (68) one shot behind.
Two shots off the pace were Robert Karlsson (73), Padraig Harrington (73), Thomas Bjorn (73) YE Yang (75) and Vijay Singh (75).

Of the other Australians, Mark Hensby was tied 19th at even par after a 71, with Scott Hend (74) at two over, Brendan Jones (75) four over, Richard Green (74) five over and Andre Stolz (78) eight over along with Mick Smith (79).
The 11 golfers on or close to the lead have combined to win 13 major championships.
"The people up there are the people that have a lot of experience," Cabrera said. "Most of them have been in many majors, and you can see that."
Goosen has two U.S. Open championships on his resume and Cabrera one of those to go along with the 2009 Masters. Harrington won the British Open in '07 and '08 and Cink in '09, while Singh has two PGA Championship victories and another in the Masters.
That kind of sustained winning over the past few decades certainly helped prepare those guys for the conditions at Congressional, which has hosted three US Opens and one PGA Championship.
"A tough golf course — all the guys that have really done it on hard golf courses really rise to the top and seem to grind it out more maybe a little bit more than certain players," said Goosen. "I certainly grinded it out."

Royce Lewis, Christian Vazquez each drive in 3 runs as Twins beat Dodgers 10-7
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Royce Lewis and Christian Vazquez each drove in three runs as the Minnesota Twins beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-7 on Tuesday night. Lewis, a native of nearby Orange County, Calif., had a runs-scoring fielder's choice in the second inning, a bases-loaded walk in the sixth, and a run-scoring grounder in the seventh that brought in two more runs on pitcher Edgardo Henriquez's throwing error. Reliever Brock Stewart (2-1) pitched a scoreless fifth inning to earn the win. Andy Pages hit a three-run home run and Shohei Ohtani had a two-run shot for the Dodgers, who managed to end a six-game home losing streak Monday but have now dropped 11 of their past 14 overall since July 4. It is the first time Ohtani has hit a home run in four consecutive games. Dodgers All-Star right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto gave up three runs — one earned — and five hits in five innings. Ben Casparius (7-4) was charged with three runs without recording an out in the sixth. The Twins took a 6-3 lead in the sixth inning with their second of three three-run innings as Lewis walked with the bases loaded, Harrison Bader had an RBI ground out and Vazquez delivered a run-scoring single. Hyeseong Kim brought the Dodgers to 6-5 with a two-run single in the sixth. The Twins responded with a three-run seventh when Lewis' comebacker scored Carlos Correa then brought in Ty France and Matt Walner when Henriquez threw past first base and into right field. France, from nearby West Covina, had an RBI double in the ninth. Key moment One night after losing left-handed reliever Tanner Scott to an elbow injury, the Dodgers saw Casparius depart with a right calf cramp immediately after he allowed Lewis' bases-loaded walk in the sixth. Casparius and Will Klein combined for six walks. Key stat The Twins' victory was only their third against the Dodgers since 2017, leaving them 3-12 against Los Angeles in the nine-year stretch. They are 3-13 all-time at Dodger Stadium, including postseason games. Up next Twins RHP Chris Paddack (3-9, 5.14 ERA) goes against Dodgers RHP Tyler Glasnow (1-1, 3.10) on Wednesday. ___ AP MLB:

"During training, Pritch entered a contest and her left knee was forced into an awkward position," club physiotherapist Olivia Dawson said in a statement. Some tough news as Skip D Berry and Pritch have both sustained injuries to sideline them for the start of the season ❤️🩹Details: — WesternBulldogs AFLW (@BulldogsW) July 23, 2025 "De sustained a hamstring injury during a high-speed effort at training, with scans confirming the diagnosis and informing her recovery timeline."
