Stewart Cink surged into a three-way tie for the Portugal Invitational lead on Saturday with an 8-under-par 64 that included a pair of eagles.

Cink eagled the par-5 third and par-4 12th holes at The Els Club Vilamoura in Algarve, Portugal, moving to 13 under through two rounds.

The eight-time winner on the PGA Tour Champions enters Sunday’s final round level with Padraig Harrington of Ireland (65 on Saturday) and Slovakia’s Rory Sabatini (66).

First-round leader Zach Johnson slipped into solo fourth place at 12-under after an eventful round of 68 with four birdies, one eagle and two bogeys.

Tim O’Neal surged into a tie for fifth place at 10-under with a bogey-free 66 to join Sweden’s Mikael Lundberg (68). They are one stroke ahead of South Korea’s Y.E. Yang (67) and Australia’s Cameron Percy (67).

Cink started fast and was 6 under through five holes en route to the lowest round of the day.

“Well, it’s weird to come off a round like that with that kind of score and be a little dejected because I shot minus-8, but I was 6-under par like 3 1/2 hours ago for the day,” Cink said. “I settled back into normalcy after that.

“The start was just like laser focused. I mean, it was almost perfect shot after perfect shot for the first really six holes. I didn’t birdie the sixth hole, but, you know, par-3, including an eagle from short range and another almost eagle on the par-5. Just really kind of fun. Then came back down to earth a little bit and got, like I said, a little bit more normal. All in all, a really good day.”

Cink, who leads the Charles Schwab Cup standings, is looking for his fifth victory on the tour this season.

Harrington began his bogey-free, 7-under round with an eagle at the par-5 opening hole. He capped the round with his fifth birdie at No. 18.

“I’m obviously very happy to have birdied the last,” Harrington said. “Hit a very nice second shot, hit a very nice putt. In golf you get some great breaks. Mikael Lundberg putted it pretty much on the same line before me. I thought the putt had a little bit of break and Michael’s broke a lot … (otherwise) I would never have holed mine. You get good breaks like that at times in golf and it’s nice I took advantage of it.”

Sabbatini eagled the par-5 third hole but squandered his chance for the outright lead with a bogey at the par-3 17th.

“All things considered, I think that score today with the wind, the greens were getting a little firmer, faster at the end there, I’m pretty excited about it,” Sabbatini said.

This is the first PGA Tour Champions event ever held in Portugal.

The Atlanta Falcons and left guard Matthew Bergeron have agreed to a four-year contract extension through the 2030 season.

The team announced the deal on Saturday but didn’t provide any financial terms. ESPN and NFL Network said the contract is worth $96 million, with $60 million fully guaranteed.

“Matthew is the type of player you build around,” Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham said. “He’s establishing himself as one of the top young guards in the NFL, and his toughness, consistency and leadership have made him a cornerstone of our offensive line and the culture we’re building in Atlanta.

“Extending players like Matthew reflects our commitment to investing in the trenches and building a strong foundation for the future.”

Bergeron, 26, is a native of Montreal who played in college at Syracuse. The Falcons selected him in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, and Bergeron has played in 49 of 51 possible games — all starts.

With Bergeron teaming with left tackle Jake Matthews, the Falcons led the league in 2025 with 61 first downs from that side of the line. Matthews enters his 13th season as a starting offensive lineman for the team.

Bergeron told AtlantaFalcons.com that staying in Atlanta with the new contract “means the world” to him.

“I’m from Canada, and the second I got to Atlanta everybody welcomed me with open arms,” he said. “Atlanta is a special place for me and my family. And now, I have the resources to give back to a community that has given me so much and changed my life.”

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall requires right knee surgery and will miss the 2026 season.

General manager John Lynch confirmed on Saturday that Pearsall needs a procedure to repair a torn PCL.

Pearsall, a 2024 first-round pick, experienced pain and swelling in his knee earlier this week at training camp. He initially sustained the injury in Week 4 last season and wound up appearing in only nine games.

Through his first two seasons, Pearsall has recorded 67 catches for 928 yards and three scores in 20 contests.

The 49ers placed Pearsall, 25, on injured reserve Saturday and also confirmed the signing of wideout Deebo Samuel. Terms were not disclosed but reports earlier in the week said Samuel returns on a one-year deal for $7 million. Samuel will replace Pearsall of the 49ers’ roster.

Samuel, 30, caught 72 passes for 727 yards and five TDs in 16 games last season with the Washington Commanders.

Samuel played for San Francisco from 2019-24, posting 334 receptions for 4,792 yards and 22 TDs in 81 games.
