LPGA Inkster's 64 creates tie with Jones

Annika Sorenstam is playing without her regular caddie.
EVIAN, France (AP) -- Juli Inkster shot a course-record 8-under-par 64 Friday and moved into a tie for the lead with Rosie Jones after three rounds of the Evian Masters.
Inkster opened with an eagle on the par-4 first, and finished with seven birdies and a bogey to move to 14-under 202.
Jones, who held a one-stroke lead after two rounds, had a 67.
Defending champion Annika Sorenstam shot a 67, moving from 34th place into a tie for 18th, 10 strokes behind the leaders.
Shoots career-low 65
South Korea's Hee-Won Han, coming off a victory in last week's Big Apple Classic, shot an LPGA career-low 65 and was two shots off the pace.
Sweden's Sophie Gustafson was fourth after a third-round 67, and Mexican rookie Lorena Ochoa was fifth at 207 after a 71.
South Korea's Se Ri Pak (66), Karrie Webb (68) and Janice Moodie (69) were tied at 208.
Inkster holed a wedge from 67 yards at No. 1. Her only bogey came at the fifth where she missed an 8-foot par putt.
Inkster was cautiously optimistic about her chances of winning the tournament.
"There are lots of good players who can come through with another 64 and take it away from me," Inkster said.
Jones, whose mother had a stroke six weeks ago, is coming off a two-week break. She finished with six birdies and one bogey.
"I'm having a hard time," Jones said. "That's why I've had an abbreviated schedule. But in the hospital, on the Golf Channel, she saw me playing in the Evian and she made a big sound to tell people."
Sorenstam has 6 birdies
Sorenstam changed putters and rolled in six birdies in a round of 67.
"Obviously I'm a bit more pleased," Sorenstam said. "I hit better shots and got the ball closer, which was key today."
Sorenstam's husband, David Escher, took over her bag when her regular caddie, Terry McNamara, was sidelined with food-poisoning.
"I had to do my own yardages, which isn't normal," Sorenstam said. "David didn't do the preparation."
Sorenstam wasn't counting out a run at the leaders in the final round.
"I felt I'd have a chance if I got to six-under today," she said. "But it's going to be tough. The leaders are playing great golf."
