RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. — Oklahoma State graduate Pernilla Lindberg has opened play in the ANA Inspiration, trying to complete a wire-to-wire victory in the major championship for her first professional victory.
The 31-year-old Swede took a three-stroke lead over Amy Anderson into Sunday's final round at Mission Hills, shooting a 2-under 70 on Saturday for a tournament-record 14-under 202 total.
Olson also is trying to win for the first time as a professional. The 2009 U.S. Girls Junior champion won an NCAA-record 20 titles at North Dakota State.
Ayako Uehara birdied the first three holes to pull within two strokes of Lindberg minutes before the final group teed off.
