Creamer holds third-round LPGA lead

HALF MOON BAY, Calif. (UPI) -- Paula Creamer birdied her final three holes Saturday to post a 4-under 68 and take the third-round lead of the LPGA Samsung World Championship.

Creamer finished 54 holes at 6-under 210 for a one-shot lead over second place Angela Sanford.

Sanford held as large as a three-shot lead on Saturday, but double-bogeys at 13 and 15 cost her first place. She closed with a pair of birdies for a 3-under 69 and a 211.

Two-time defending champion Lorena Ochoa (70) is tied for third place with Katherine Hull (69) and Song-Hee Kim (70) at 4-under 212.

Conditions were still cold and sometimes blustery Saturday, but not as bad as they were Friday. Ochoa dropped six strokes in her last 10 holes Friday and Sanford lost four in her last four.

In the 20-player field, only one golfer in the top-10, second-round leader Na Yeon Choi, failed to break par Saturday.
