Revenge Time?
Helen Alfredsson knows a thing or two about losing the lead at the Open. Now she’s hoping it’s her turn to come from behind and steal one.

The 43-year-old Swede shot a 2-under 71 on Saturday and trailed Lewis by two strokes heading into the final round.

Fifteen years ago, Alfredsson set a 36-hole scoring record and had a six-shot lead through seven holes of the third round before a stunning collapse. She played the next 11 holes at 8 over, shot 76-77 on the weekend and tied for ninth.

The year before, in 1993, she had a two-shot lead going into the last round and lost to Lauri Merten.

“To be very honest, I don’t really think so much about it,” Alfredsson said. “I’ve been so close in this event and I’ve been very high and very low.”

A Look at the Leaderboard
Ochoa wasn’t the only big-name player to struggle on Saturday.

One day after saying she had the same feeling as when she won the Open at Pine Needles last year, defending champion Cristie Kerr shot a 3-over 75 and was seven strokes behind Lewis with one round to play.

First-day leader Pat Hurst continues to fade. After an opening-round 67, the 2006 runner-up has shot 78-77 the last two days and was 3 over for the tournament.

Two-time champion Karrie Webb needed an 8-foot birdie putt on 18 on Friday just to make the cut. She shot a 72 and was tied with Hurst at 3 over.

Quote of the Day
Dale Lewis, Stacy’s father, was asked what the two had planned for Saturday night after Stacy Lewis shot a 67 to take a one-shot lead into the final day of her first professional tournament.

“We’re going to do the same thing we’ve been doing,” he said. “I’ll snore and keep her up. She’ll have the remote and I’ll complain about the channel and what we’re watching on TV.”
