Needing a victory to keep his FedEx Cup playoffs streak alive, Matt Kuchar shot his second straight 6-under 64 on Saturday to take the second-round lead in the rain-delayed Wyndham Championship.

Kuchar is the only player to reach every postseason in FedEx Cup history. The top 70 will qualify for the playoff opener next week, with the 46-year-old Kuchar 113th — and the late Grayson Murray still on the list at 57th.

“Certainly been a frustrating year, but I feel like the bar’s been set high,” Kuchar said. “I feel like I played a lot of good golf, consistent golf for a long time. Makes the, I guess, poor golf that much more frustrating.”

The nine-time tour winner was facing a 36-hole Sunday at Sedgefield Country Club in the event washed out by rain Thursday and delayed Friday and Saturday. Twenty players were unable to finish play Saturday.

“I’ve got some built-in confidence knowing that a month or two ago when I was down at the U.S. Open qualifying, did 36 holes at the Bear’s Club, was medalist down there,” Kuchar said. “Able to walk 36 in the heat and humidity without too much problem.”

Max Greyserman was a stroke back along with Cameron Young and Chad Ramey. Greyserman shot 60, leaving a 50-foot birdie putt 2 feet short on the final hole.

• Asterisk Talley led Rianne Malixi 1 up halfway through the U.S. Women’s Amateur championship match, three weeks after Malixi routed Talley in the U.S. Girls’ Junior final.

Because of expected rain today at Southern Hills in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the first 18 holes of the 36-hole championship match were moved to Saturday.

Daniels shows well in preseason opener

Jayden Daniels showed up for his first NFL game for Washington wearing a throwback Doug Williams jersey.

Then, the No. 2 overall pick and San Bernardino native, went out and played like the potential franchise quarterback the Commanders hope he’ll be in his only series in a 20-17 preseason-opening loss to the New York Jets on Saturday.

“Before I left, it was in my closet,” Daniels said with a smile while again wearing Williams’ No. 17 Washington jersey. “Hey, what better way to have my debut, first game and represent Doug and what he did for this organization.”

Daniels, the Heisman Trophy winner from LSU, ran for a touchdown after throwing a perfectly placed deep pass for his first NFL completion to get Washington into New York territory. He surely made a nice first impression on Williams, the first Black quarterback to start and win a Super Bowl while with Washington in January 1988 and currently a senior advisor with the team.

• Caleb Williams showed signs of promise in the No. 1 draft pick’s preseason debut, overseeing a pair of drives ending in field goals in the Chicago Bears’ 33-6 victory over the Buffalo Bills.

The 22-year-old out of USC completed 4 of 7 attempts for 95 yards, and also converted a third-and-9 by bolting out of the pocket for a 13-yard gain. Though he wasn’t perfect — Williams was late in nearly throwing an interception on a play wiped out by a Bills defensive penalty away from the ball — the quarterback oversaw the Bears gaining a combined 152 yards and seven first downs on 20 plays over two possessions.

Manchester City wins Community Shield

This time, Manuel Akanji made no mistake from the penalty spot.

After a 1-1 draw, Manchester City beat Manchester United 7-6 in a penalty shootout to win the Community Shield at Wembley Stadium, with Akanji scoring the clinching penalty.

The Switzerland defender had different emotions after his last shootout — at the European Championship last month when he was the only player to not convert a penalty kick in a loss to England in the quarterfinals.

City ended a run of three straight losses in the traditional curtain-raiser to the English soccer season, between the winners of last season’s Premier League (City) and FA Cup (United).

Hamlin wins pole, eyes Richmond sweep

Denny Hamlin’s bid for a sweep at Richmond is off to a good start.

Hamlin won the pole for tonight’s NASCAR Cup race, topping qualifying in his No. 11 Toyota. It was Hamlin’s third pole of the year, although he went on to finish out of the top 10 after his first two at Phoenix and Nashville.

Hamlin won at Richmond earlier this season and is trying to become the first driver to sweep the track’s two Cup races since Martin Truex Jr. in 2019. Hamlin’s five career victories at Richmond are one behind Kyle Busch, the leader among active racers.

Hamlin edged Truex, his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, in qualifying.

• Riley Herbst saw an opening and made it pay off with a trip to victory lane at the Brickyard.

The 25-year-old NASCAR Xfinity driver chased down Aric Almirola on the final lap, then got close enough to tap Almirola’s car with his front bumper in the final turn, dart to the inside for the lead and hold onto his sliding car to win his first race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Herbst finished ahead of teammate Cole Custer by 0.167 seconds. Almirola wound up third.

Sinner moves on at National Bank Open

Top-seeded and defending champion Jannik Sinner advanced to the National Bank Open quarterfinals in Montreal, beating Alejandro Tabilo 6-4, 6-3 in the rain-delayed tournament.

Kei Nishikori beat Nuno Borges 6-3, 6-4 to set up a quarterfinal match against Matteo Arnaldi of Italy on Saturday night.

Sebastian Korda of the United States, the winner last week in Washington, moved on to the quarterfinals after sixth-seeded Casper Ruud withdrew because of illness. Earlier, Korda beat ninth-seeded Taylor Fritz 6-4, 7-6 (4) in a match that was originally scheduled for Thursday night.

• Amanda Anisimova upset second-seeded Aryna Sabalenka 6-2, 6-2 to reach the National Bank Open semifinals in Toronto, her first victory over a top-10 player in nearly two years.

Anisimova will face eighth-seeded Emma Navarro in an all-American semifinal. Navarro beat fellow Taylor Townsend 6-3, 7-6 (5).

In the night session, third-seeded and defending champion Jessica Pegula beat Peyton Stearns 6-4, 7-5. No. 14 Diana Shnaider beat No. 6 Liudmila Samsonova 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the late match.
