Shane Lowry tied a major championship record by firing a 9-under 62 in the third round of the PGA Championship. The 37-year-old Irishman recorded nine birdies without a bogey at a very gettable Valhalla to match the lowest round ever in any of the four major tournaments. Four players had previously posted a 62 across the PGA, Masters, British Open and U.S. Open, the latest by Xander Schauffele in the opening round on Thursday. Just over 48 hours later Lowry matched it to thrust himself into contention for his second major title.

On a weekend commemorating Ayrton Senna, Max Verstappen has matched the late Brazilian's record for consecutive pole positions in Formula 1 at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. Verstappen made it eight in a row when his Red Bull topped qualifying on Saturday just ahead of the McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Miami GP winner Lando Norris. Piastri was later penalised three grid places for impeding Haas' Kevin Magnussen in Q1 and dropped to fifth. Verstappen's streak dates back to the last race of last season. Including the seven in seven races this year, the three-time defending champion has drawn level with Senna on eight consecutive pole positions. Senna's record over 1988-89 has stood for 35 years.
