Bowie, Teske lead British Open

Finnish golfer Blomqvist shoots record 10-under 62

? Annika Sorenstam overcame two double bogeys to stay in the hunt at the Women’s British Open on Saturday, and Minea Blomqvist of Finland surged into contention with the lowest score ever in a major.

Sorenstam offset double-bogey 7s at Nos. 1 and 14 with five birdies in a 2-under 70 Saturday, moving to 7-under 209 through three rounds on the Old Course at Sunningdale. She’s five strokes behind co-leaders Heather Bowie and Rachel Teske, who shot 65s and moved to 12-under 204.

Cristie Kerr had a 9-under 63, and is tied for third place with halfway leader Karen Stupples (70) at 11-under 205.

The biggest move of the day came from 19-year-old Blomqvist, who made a 60-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 10-under 62 — the first in a major.

Blomqvist had six birdies and two eagles, breaking the tournament record of 63 set three years ago by Karrie Webb at Turnberry. She also broke Webb’ course record of 63 set in 1997.

Blomqvist was at 8-under 208, tied for seventh place with Laura Davies (69) and Seol-An Jeon (70).

Blomqvist, who won a tournament two weeks ago in Hungary, started her record round with a 7-wood into 21 feet for eagle on the 485-yard opening hole.

“I made an eagle and then … I had a feeling today that everything is going good,” she said. “Yesterday, I couldn’t concentrate on any putt. Today, it was totally different.”
