TROON, Scotland — Suzann Pettersen shot a 2-under 70 in windy conditions Saturday to take a two-stroke lead in the Ladies Scottish Open.
Pettersen, the 34-year-old Norwegian player ranked No. 7 in the world, had a 6-under 138 total at Dundonald Links in the final Ladies European Tour event before the Women's British Open next week at Turnberry.
"I'm pretty happy," Pettersen said. "It turned out to be a lot windier than we anticipated and the back nine is playing tough. It's tough to get great chances and the front nine is more scoreable. Once you get to 12, it's all into the wind, straight down and off the right, so it's tough, but a good course with a lot of challenges.
