Golf Links connects you to Sunday morning’s golf news:  get ready for championship day at the pro events, and get news notes on the upcoming Senior LPGA Championship, The Open, and the passing of Louise Solheim, as the golf world keeps turning today.

The ProGolfNow Golf Links column provides a quick way to get your Saturday morning golf news and stay on top of the game, wherever it’s being played.

Final rounds at the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open, Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic, and Greenbrier Classic will inevitably end, but before this week’s champions hoist their trophies there are Sunday shootouts pending at all three pro events.

John Rahm will press for the Irish Open win and Daniel Im will resist. Katherine Kirk has a huge edge in Wisconsin but the game can turn on a dime if her putter goes cold; and Sebastian Muñoz, who has had his phone turned off since Thursday and has pulled deep inside himself, must hold on for 18 more holes before he can collect his first PGA TOUR victory. We have fourth round pairings and tee times and tv broadcast schedules for all three events.

We’re all thinking now about three approaching majors, The Senior LPGA Championship, the U.S. Women’s Open, and The Open Championship, and there’s a bit of news on these events just to get you ready.
