Calgary, AB (My Sportsbook) - Chasing her first win in almost two years, Suzann Pettersen fired a five-under 66 and took a five-shot lead Saturday at the CN Canadian Women's Open. The long-hitting Norwegian finished three rounds on the Priddis Greens course at 14-under 199, tying the 54-hole tournament scoring record set by Lorena Ochoa in 2007. Angela Stanford, one of Pettersen's American opponents in the Solheim Cup last month, was a distant second place after posting a 69 to reach nine-under 204. Hall of Famer Karrie Webb (68) was another stroke further back at eight-under 205, while Ochoa (72) and In-Kyung Kim (69) stood seven shots off the lead at seven-under 206. Pettersen hasn't won since Oct. 28, 2007, at the Honda LPGA Thailand, a victory that capped off her five-win season. MORE TO FOLLOW. |
