The United States opened up a five-point lead on the third day of the Presidents Cup as play was once again disrupted by rain at Muirfield Village in Ohio.

Tiger Woods believes the hard work he puts in off the course makes winning easier after securing his biggest victory since 2009.

Padraig Harrington and Graeme McDowell are two and three shots off the lead respectively at the US Open in Winged Foot.

Irish golfer Padraig Harrington, the highest ranked European in the Accenture world match play championship, has failed to survive the opening round for the second year running in Melbourne.
