Golf roundup
The Associated Press
VALLEJO, Calif. — Annika Sorenstam shot a 4-under 68 on Saturday for a share of the lead with Cristie Kerr after the third round of the Samsung World Championship.
Sorenstam, seeking her fourth straight victory in individual play, closed with a birdie to match Kerr (69) at 15-under 201 on the Hiddenbrooke Golf Club course.
The Swedish star has eight victories and record earnings of $2,211,991 in 17 LPGA Tour starts. She also won the Australian Masters and Compaq Open in Sweden, giving her 10 worldwide victories in 19 events.
Kerr bogeyed the final hole.
Rosie Jones (70) was three strokes back at 12 under, and Se Ri Pak (67) and Michele Redman (70) were 11 under.
Michelob Championship
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — Brandt Jobe shot a 6-under 65 to take a one-stroke lead over Billy Mayfair in the Michelob Championship, while David Duval tumbled off the leaderboard.
Duval, a two-time Kingsmill winner who struggled to keep his drives out of the thick rough, ballooned to a 74, leaving him seven strokes behind Jobe entering the final round.
Jobe, whose nine career victories have come in Canada, Asia and Japan, rebounded from his lone bogey — on the par-4 12th — to birdie five of the last six holes, including the final four to finish at 13-under 200. Mayfair shot a 68.
Dunhill Links Championship
ST ANDREWS, Scotland — Ireland's Padraig Harrington had a double bogey on No. 17 at the Old Course to drop into a tie with Argentina's Eduardo Romero in the Dunhill Links Championship.
Harrington, coming off Europe's Ryder Cup victory, shot a 4-under 68 to finish three rounds on the Old Course, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns at 16-under 200. Romero shot a 67.
Fiji's Vijay Singh (64) was a stroke back.
Turtle Bay Championship
KAHUKU, Hawaii — Two-time defending champion Hale Irwin shot his second straight 3-under 69 for a share of the lead in the Turtle Bay Championship.
Irwin, a three-time winner this year and the Senior PGA Tour's career leader with 35 victories, matched Dick Mast (67), Mike Smith (69), Morris Hatalsky (69) at 6-under 138.
