UNDATED (AP) — The Philadelphia Flyers have traded Jakub Voracek to the Columbus Blue Jackets for Cam Atkinson in the first major trade on the second day of the NHL draft. The deal was straight up, with Voracek returning to the team that drafted him in 2007. It’s Philadelphia’s second major trade in two days after acquiring defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen (rihs-toh-LY’-nehn) from Buffalo for two high picks. The Colorado Avalanche kicked off the day by signing top defenseman Cale Makar to a $54 million, six-year contract. Edmonton also completed a $4.4 million, two-year deal with goaltender Mike Smith.

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France (AP) — A day after making golfing history, Jeongeun Lee6 has extended her Evian Championship lead to five strokes with a 3-under-par 68. She’s at 18 under overall after three rounds. Her nearest challenger at 13 under is teenage American Yealimi Noh, who carded a 4-under 67. 2015 champion Lydia Ko of New Zealand posted a 68 and is one shot behind Noh. Yesterday, Lee6 tied the golf majors record for the lowest round ever by a female or male with a 10-under 61. And her history-making 36-hole score of 127 was the lowest in a major, beating the 128 by Brooks Koepka (KEHP’-kuh) at the 2019 U.S. PGA Championship.

SUNNINGDALE, England (AP) — Stephen Dodd has shot an outstanding 8-under 62 to take a two-stroke lead after three rounds of the Senior British Open.

Jerry Kelly was two shots back after carding a 68 and Day 2 leader Darren Clarke slipped three strokes off the lead in the final senior major championship of the year.
