Leona Maguire rediscovers form to make bright start at PGA Championship
Leona Maguire rediscovered some form at an opportune time as a first-round 72 left her inside the top 20 at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship. With the second wave still on course last night in the third major of the season, Maguire's even-par round left her four shots behind pace-setter Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand. South Africa's Paula Reto had also made a blistering start and was three-under after five holes on a tricky course, a score shared by Australia's Minjee Lee after she bogeyed the last denying her a share of the clubhouse lead. Cavan's Maguire has been struggling as of late, four missed cuts in succession seeing her drop to 87th in the world rankings, so this was just the tonic. Maguire played her first nine holes in one over-par with her sole bogey coming at the 454-yard par-four fifth. A beautifully read putt for birdie on the 11th got her back level before another birdie at the 14th, following a fine approach to inside six foot, saw her under-par for her round. She did let a shot go at 16 as a putt raced by, but overall it was a productive start for Maguire.

Rory McIlroy eager for birdie mode at Travelers after finding a ‘feeling' off the tee at Oakmont
While he has been battling for motivation since winning the Masters to complete the career Grand Slam, he has also struggled to hit fairways until last week. Getting emotionally and physically ready for The Open at Royal Portrush is his next big goal, and after driving the ball well at Oakmont, he's looking forward to making birdies at TPC River Highlands. 'Definitely last week, I found a feeling, especially off the tee, that was repeatable, that was working well, and I led strokes gained off the tee last week, which was a big thing for me,' McIlroy said. Making birdies in Connecticut should help his mood. 'I think the weeks after Major championships in these events, sometimes when you are in contention and you are trying to win them, it can feel quite difficult to go play the next week,' added McIlroy, who shot a joint-best of the day 67 on Sunday to tie for 19th 'After a week like I had at Oakmont, where you are not quite in the mix but you might feel you find something in your game, you are excited to come back and play again. 'This is the perfect sort of chaser for what Oakmont was last week, and nice to get out on a golf course where you feel you can make quite a few birdies.' McIlroy is joined in the field by Shane Lowry, who missed the cut at Oakmont but plays his fourth event in a row in the knowledge that he tied for ninth behind Scottie Scheffler last year. 'There are a lot of guys in the field this week where this is their fourth tournament in a row, so they have been put through the wringer the last few weeks,' McIlroy said. 'This is a welcome setup where they feel like they can relax a little bit and not have to grind so much for your score.' McIlroy will play the first two rounds alongside US Ryder Keegan Bradley, who believes new US Open champion JJ Spaun will be a big asset to his team. ADVERTISEMENT 'I think going to a course like Bethpage Black, the people are really going to be behind a guy like JJ Spaun,' Bradley said. It's a major week for Leona Maguire, who will be trying to end a miserable run of form in the KPMG Women's PGA at 6,600-yard Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco. The Cavan star arrives in Texas on the back of four successive missed cuts and faces tough conditions in 30c temperatures for her opening round alongside American Joanna Coe and Thailand's Patty Tavatanakit. There is no event on the DP World Tour this week, but Max Kennedy, Mark Power and Dermot McElroy are playing in the HotelPlanner Tour's Blot Play9 at Golf Bluegreen de Pléneuf Val André in France. Meanwhile, County Louth's Gavin Tiernan was the only Irish player to get through the first round of the Amateur Championship at Royal St George's. He beat Scotland's Niall Shiels Donegan on the 18th to set up a last-32 clash with Belgium's Jarno Tollenaire. Galgorm's Joshua Hill lost 3&2 to Canada's Isaiah Ibit, while County Louth's Stuart Grehan fell 4&2 to Mexico's Rodrigo Vasquez. Leading qualifier Conor Graham of Scotland had to dig deep to see off Denmark's Mads Viernose Larsen on the 21st. Travelers Championship, 8pm

Teams: O'Shea and Clifford return for Kerry squad for Cavan game
Sean O'Shea returns to the starting team and Paudie Clifford is named in the squad as Kerry make five changes to the side which suffered a shock defeat to Meath in Tullamore. The defeat to the Leinster finalists has seen Kerry unexpectedly sent to the preliminary quarter-finals, with Cavan the visitors to Fitzgerald Stadium on Saturday. Jack O'Connor has named a much changed side, with Sean O'Shea and Diarmuid O'Connor included in the half-forward line, replacing Micheál Burns and Tony Brosnan, the latter dropping out of the matchday 26. Brian Ó Beaglaoich replaces Tadhg Morley in the half-back line, with Sean O'Brien slotting into midfield in place of Mark O'Shea. Conor Geaney takes the full-forward berth, with Killian Spillane dropping to the bench. Paudie Clifford hasn't been included in the starting XV but is back on the match-day panel, having picked up a muscle strain in the group stage win over Cork. However, Paul Geaney, also injured in the win over Cork, hasn't recovered in time and will sit out his second game in succession. The two sides last met in the championship in the 2013 All-Ireland quarter-final, Kerry winning by six points. Cavan have not beaten Kerry in the championship since the 1947 All-Ireland final, played in the Polo Grounds in New York. Kerry: Shane Ryan; Paul Murphy, Jason Foley, Tom O'Sullivan; Brian Ó Beaglaoich, Mike Breen, Gavin White; Joe O'Connor, Seán O'Brien; Diarmuid O'Connor, Seán O'Shea, Graham O'Sullivan; David Clifford, Conor Geaney, Dylan Geaney.
