Leona Maguire made a hole-in-one at the Evian Championship on the way to a 6-under 65 in the first round Thursday and a five-way share of the lead.

Having started on the back nine at the fourth major of the year, Maguire aced the par-3 second hole — her 11th — at Evian Resort Golf Club in France, sinking her tee shot from 164 yards.

The Irishwoman was joined at 65 by American duo Andrea Lee and Jennifer Kupcho as well as Australians Grace Kim and Gabriela Ruffels, a former tennis player in doubles.

Minjee Lee, who won the Women’s PGA Championship last month for her third major title, was alone in sixth place after carding a 66.

Top-ranked Nelly Korda was a stroke behind her in a tie for seventh. Korda is seeking her first win of the season and third major title.

Jake Knapp is loving links golf so much he’d like to extend his stay another week, and he took a step toward that Thursday with a 6-under 64 that put him in a four-way share of the lead after the opening round of the Scottish Open.

The blustery conditions at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick were not enough to keep more than half of the 156-man field at par or better, although Rory McIlroy had to birdie his last three holes — and make a 25-foot bogey putt on the 15th hole — for a 68.

Sepp Straka had eight birdies in his round of 64, also joined by Nico Echavarria and Victor Perez atop the leaderboard alongside Knapp. Four other players were one shot behind, while Scottie Scheffler had to settle for a 67 and was three back.

Knapp is among those who have not qualified for the British Open next week at Royal Portrush. The Open is offering spots to the leading three players at The Renaissance Club who are not already in the field.

Track and field

Two-time Olympic champion runner Caster Semenya won a partial victory at the European Court of Human Rights in her seven-year legal fight against track and field’s sex eligibility rules.

The court’s 17-judge highest chamber said in a 15-2 vote that Semenya had some of her rights to a fair hearing violated at Switzerland’s Supreme Court, where she had appealed against a ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport in favor of track’s World Athletics.

However, the court declined to rule on several other aspects of Semenya’s case, including on the question of whether she was discriminated against in Swiss courts. The European court in Strasbourg, France, said those issues were outside Switzerland’s jurisdiction, although four of the 17 judges gave a partial dissent to the majority view.

Semenya’s case should now go back to the Swiss federal court in Lausanne. It will be watched closely by other sports which have passed or are reviewing their own rules on eligibility in women’s events.

“Today, my patience in this journey has been rewarded with a result that will pave the way for all athletes’ human rights to Semenya later posted on social media a photo of herself in the court chamber with a message a three raised fists symbolizing her fight for justice.

“Today, my patience in this journey has been rewarded with a result that will pave the way for all athletes’ human rights to be protected,” she said in a statement.

The original case between Semenya and track’s governing body based in Monaco was about whether athletes like her — who have specific medical conditions, a typical male chromosome pattern and naturally high testosterone levels — should be allowed to compete freely in women’s sports.

The European court’s ruling does not overturn the World Athletics rules that effectively ended Semenya’s career running the 800 meters after she won two Olympic and three world titles since emerging on the global stage as a teenager in 2009.

The judges also did not take up other aspects of the appeal filed by Semenya. The court awarded her 80,000 euros ($94,000) from the state of Switzerland “in respect of costs and expenses.”

Minnesota linebacker Dallas Turner was targeted in an alleged financial fraud scheme that cost him about $240,000, according to Sgt. Rich Evans, who confirmed that the Eagan police department was actively investigating the case, working toward criminal charges with multiple suspects identified. Only about $2,500 has been recovered, Evans said.

According to the search warrant affidavit obtained and first reported by the Minnesota Star Tribune, Turner and his attorney contacted police in April. He said he received a call in February from an individual impersonating a banker who advised him to transfer money to two different businesses in order to prevent a theft attempt, the affidavit read. Turner later suspected the call was a scam after conferring with a family member.
