LPGA Annika slips before rainout

She's trying to win the LPGA Championship for the first time.
WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) -- Annika Sorenstam lost her two-stroke lead in the three holes she played Saturday in the LPGA Championship before rain drenched DuPont Country Club and suspended the third round.
Sorenstam and Hee-Won Han were at 7 under par when steady rain left the golf course unplayable and made it unclear whether the major championship could get in 72 holes.
The players were to return this morning at 7:30 to complete the third round, with hopes of starting the final round in the afternoon.
How it went down
Sorenstam dropped a shot on the second hole by hitting into the rough, so thick and wet she could only advance it to the fairway. Han made a short birdie putt on No. 1.
Han was in the right rough, playing her third shot to the par-4 fourth hole, when play was suspended. Sorenstam hit her drive in the fairway.
"I think it was the right thing to do," Sorenstam said from her hotel room. "I noticed on the second green and the third green that it was starting to get unplayable."
Rachel Teske birdied the second hole and was at 4 under.
Wendy Ward, playing in the final group with Sorenstam and Han, bogeyed her first three holes to fall to 2 under par.
Players will remain in the same groups for the third and fourth rounds.
LPGA Tour events rarely carry over into Monday, although players were adamant that everything be done to complete 72 holes.
"It's a must," Sorenstam said. "I hope they try everything they can."
Sorenstam entered the third round on a roll, coming off a 7-under 64 on Friday that was so solid she didn't even realize that a birdie on the final hole would have broken the record for lowest score in a major on any tour.
The tee shot sailed into the right rough, Sorenstam had to chop it back to the fairway and she ended with a bogey.
Winning the major
As she went over her round, someone asked if she had ever made three straight birdies on three separate occasions.
Sorenstam reached into her pocket to check her scores, then looked up in surprise.
"Yeah, I see that," she said. "No, I don't think so. Good observation."
All she cared about in the second round of the McDonald's LPGA Championship was proving to herself that she can play this course.
The LPGA Championship is one of two majors Sorenstam has never won. And while she has earned more money, set more records and won more tournaments than any of her peers on the LPGA Tour, the missing link has been the majors.
Sorenstam took a big step toward fixing that Friday, finishing at 8-under 134.
"I can play this golf course," she said, as if she were still trying to convince herself after posting a score that was four shots better than anyone else Friday. "I can do good in the majors. Sometimes, I just get in my own way."
There is no one in front of her, and there might be no stopping her.
"I have not had four good rounds on this golf course, and there's no reason for me not to do it," Sorenstam said. "Now I've got to take care of business."
