MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Four-time champion Karrie Webb shot a 3-under 70 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead in the Women’s Australian Open.
Webb, the Australian star coming off her seventh Australian Ladies Masters title, had a 6-under 213 total on the Commonwealth Golf Club course.
Italy’s Giulia Sergas, the second-round leader, bogeyed the final hole for a 75, leaving her a stroke behind Webb — the tournament winner in 2000, ’02, ’07 and ’08.
Defending champion Laura Davies was 4 under after a 71. The 46-year-old English star won the New Zealand Women’s Open two weeks ago for her 73rd worldwide title.
Australia’s Katherine Hull (72) was 3 under.
