AKRON, Ohio -- Jason Day wanted to expand his lead Saturday in the Bridgestone Invitational.He was happy just to keep a share of it.Spraying tee shots all over Firestone, Day spent most of the afternoon scrambling for par until he made a 35-foot birdie putt on the 15th hole that settled him down in a hard-earned round of 1-under 69 to share the lead with Scott Piercy.I felt like Mr. Havercamp out of Caddyshack trying to find his golf ball and not knowing where the golf hole goes, Day said.But he could find the bottom of the cup, including three par putts of at least 8 feet.Piercy, coming off a runner-up finish in the U.S. Open two weeks ago at Oakmont, quickly tied Day for the lead with an eagle on the par-5 second hole and was flawless until the final hole. He had a 1-shot lead until pulling his tee shot into the left rough, running a low shot through the green and into a back bunker, and having to scramble just to escape with a bogey and a 67.They were at 5-under 205, the highest 54-hole score at this World Golf Championship since 2007.Only nine players remained under par, and given the firm conditions of Firestone, Day believes all of them have a chance.David Lingmerth of Sweden had a 69 and was 1 shot behind. The big move Saturday belonged to U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson, who hits it a long way and has a short memory.After warming up on the range, Johnson said he was ready for a great round of golf, adding that Im due. The smile suggested he did recall that he played decently at Oakmont two weeks ago.Johnson was 5 under through 11 holes and closing in on the lead when he played final seven holes in 1 over for a 66. Still, that was enough to get him to 2-under 208, 3 shots behind, along with Charl Schwartzel (67) and William McGirt (70).Justin Thomas and Emiliano Grillo, buddies from their junior golf days, were another shot back. Thomas was in much better position until his wedge shot found the water on the par-5 16th, and his fifth shot after a penalty drop nearly went in for a par. Thomas then missed a 4-foot putt for double-bogey.The 16th also got the best of Jordan Spieth in a big way.Spieth was starting to make putts when he debated whether to hit 3-wood on the 654-yard 16th hole, thinking he could keep it away from the water and try to make his birdie from the rough. He played it smartly instead by laying up, only it didnt quite work out that way.His third shot came up just short and into the water. His next shot went over the green and he couldnt get up and down, making triple-bogey.Spieth said his caddie talked him out of the 3-wood, and he agreed.The big number only comes into play with a 3-wood, he said. It really was the right decision. Its just funny how we talked about it like that.Spieth had another 71 and was 5 shots behind.Piercy had no such issues. He holed a bunker shot on the second hole for eagle and didnt have any stress in his round except for the 35-foot par putt he holed from the back fringe on the 14th hole. The final hole cost him the lead, but he is driving it well enough to think he has a strong chance to pick up his fourth career victory.I know I can do it, Piercy said. Its just doing it on a consistent basis like a Jordan or a Jason and those guys.Day opened with a 20-foot birdie putt. He added a short birdie on the sixth hole. A three-putt bogey on the seventh was a nuisance.What concerned him was a tee shot on the eighth that was meant to be a sweeping draw and turned into a shot deep into the trees for a bogey. And it didnt get much better from there. He was in trouble off the tee on the next two holes and salvaged pars. He hit only three fairways in the round.The short game saved me, but mentally I was just trying to grind and grind and grind, Day said.Because I thought if I can just somehow get something in and give myself an opportunity for tomorrow ... its very easy, hitting the positions I hit it today, to sit there and go, Well, its just not my day or not my week and kind of switch off a little bit. But didnt want to allow myself to switch off mentally. Keanu Neal Jersey . -- Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Farmar will be out for roughly four weeks after tearing his left hamstring. Tevin Coleman Womens Jersey . Robinson finished with 17 points, all but two in the second half, and Lawson had 14 after halftime and finished with a game-high 11 assists as the Nuggets handed Dallas its first home loss in eight games this season.

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. Brian Poole Womens Jersey . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well. Ra Shede Hageman Jersey . The Americans, skipped by John Shuster, seized the advantage in the eighth end by scoring five points for a 7-3 lead. The Czechs pulled two back in the ninth, but Shusters team of third Jeff Isaacson, second Jared Zezel and lead John Landsteiner ended with another point to secure the last Olympic berth on offer. RIO DE JANEIRO -- After months of dire predictions from abroad about the mosquito-borne Zika virus, some Brazilian fans are doing some stinging of their own: Theyre booing U.S. athletes and taunting them over the fears that kept some competitors at home.From the beach volleyball arena to the soccer stadium, boisterous Brazilian fans are having fun with what had been one of the biggest concerns heading into South Americas first Olympics.The mockery began during the first game by the U.S. womens soccer team, when veteran goalkeeper Hope Solo was greeted by chants of Zika! Zika! every time she touched the ball. The jeers were heard again Saturday during a 1-0 U.S. victory over France.Solo, who irked Brazilians before coming to the Olympics by tweeting a photo of herself wearing a hat with mosquito netting and sporting a giant bottle of bug repellent, might seem an easy target.Lauren Fendrick and Brooke Sweat didnt stir any controversy, or even make any comments about the virus, in the run-up to their match Sunday in womens volleyball. All the same, the two Olympic newcomers got rousing jeers of Zika from fans in bright green and yellow Brazilian jerseys every time they served against Poland.Solo has a lot of fans in Brazil and made a very derogative post on social media making fun of the country, said Rodrigo Porto, a 37-year-old engineer. Every time she kicks the ball, the whole stadium will scream back Zika at her.Porto says he took part in yet another round of Zika-laced taunts Saturday directed toward another American, defending Olympic beach volleyball champion Kerri Walsh Jennings.Brazilian fans are loving, but when they are disappointed and want to make fun of someone, they are relentless, he said.Not every American is getting booed. On Sunday, crowds cheered loudly for gymnast Simone Biles.It would be hard to blame U.S. athletes or foreign tourists for being worried about Zika, which can cause birth defects in babies born to mothers who have been infected.In May, 150 health experts from several countries posted a letter to the World Health Organization calling for the games to be postponed or moved until more about the disease is known. That call came despite the fact that the Olympics are taking place in the Southern Hemispheres winter, which usually decimates the mosquito population.The WHO has warned for months of a very low risk of Zika spreading during the Rio Olympics. In addition to the low temperatures -- August is Rios second-coldest month with average daytime highs of 79 degrees Fahrenheit (26 degrees Celsius) -- many in Rio have developed immunities after living with the virus for about a year.That stands in contrast to places where the virus is just now arriving. In Miami, at least 15 people are believed to have been infected through mosquito bites in what would be the first such cases in the mainlandd U.ddddddddddddS.The most recent data compiled by the Pan American Health Organization showed a steady decrease in suspected Zika cases in Brazil since its peak in February, when about 16,000 cases were reported in a single week, and almost no cases of the virus as of late July. At the Copa DOr hospital in the touristy Copacabana beach neighborhood, doctors were at a loss to remember even a single case of Zika, chikungunya or other mosquito-borne diseases since June.I dont know if the risk is zero, but certainly Rio is one of the safest places in the hemisphere right now, arguably even more than Miami, said Dr. Peter Hotez, a tropical medicine expert at the Baylor College of Medicine in Texas.Lee Igel, one of the authors of the letter, said hes happy that some of the dire warnings didnt pan out. But he stands by the letters contents and cautions that much more research is required.He cited new evidence showing Zika can remain in sperm for longer than the previously thought 90 days, and he called that a serious risk as 500,000 tourists descend on Rio, with some likely to have sex with Brazilians whove been previously infected, perhaps unknowingly, with Zika.Its a virus that has evolved. We still dont know the long-term consequence, and every day theres new information popping up, said Igel, a sports and medical ethics expert at New York University.Still, anxiety over Zika has run high for months among some athletes preparing for Rio. Golfers Jason Day and American tennis duo Mike and Bob Bryan pulled out of the games, while basketball player Pau Gasol of Spain said he was considering freezing his sperm because of the virus.Tourists in Rio have been bombarded with free bottles and cans of mosquito repellent, courtesy of SC Johnsons OFF! Brand, an official sponsor at the games.South Korea equipped its athletes with mosquito-repellent uniforms and Australia distributed special antiviral condoms.But Brazilians, who have spent their entire lives making peace with mosquitoes, have always viewed the alarm with skepticism. They complain their northern neighbors are frequently uninformed and unwilling to recognize Brazils quick identification of the virus here and efforts to eradicate it.And they are not about to let that go unanswered.I think it is just pathetic to be afraid of Zika in Rio at this time of the year, said Nathalia Ferreira, a 29-year-old pharmacist. I expected people to be more informed. I am more afraid of getting some kind of flu from someone who flew here.---Joshua Goodman is on Twitter: https://twitter.com/apjoshgoodman His work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/journalist/joshua-goodman---AP Writers Mauricio Savarese, Jimmy Golen and Tales Azzoni contributed to this report.
