GOLF ROUNDUP Saturday's other events

MASTERCARD CLASSIC
HUIXQUILUCAN, Mexico -- Cristie Kerr shot a 4-under 68 to take a two-stroke lead over Moira Dunn and South Korea's Sae-Hee Son into the final round of the MasterCard Classic, the first LPGA Tour event in Mexico since 1975. Annika Sorenstam, playing her first event of the year, was three strokes behind after a 71, while Mexico's Lorena Ochoa shot a 75 to fall eight back at 2 over. Kerr, second to Jennifer Rosales last week in the SBS Open in Hawaii, had six birdies -- four on the back nine -- and two bogeys to reach 6 under on the Bosque Real Country Club course. A three-time winner last year, Kerr has successfully adjusted to the high-altitude conditions on the course overlooking 7,400-foot high Mexico City. Dunn shot a 72, and Son had her second straight 70. Sorenstam, an eight-time winner last year on the LPGA Tour, was 3 under through 14 holes, but dropped two strokes with a double bogey on No. 15. Ochoa had six bogeys, four in a four-hole stretch on Nos. 14-17. The 23-year-old former University of Arizona player won twice last year to become the first Mexican-born champion in LPGA Tour history. Karrie Webb, coming off a victory last Sunday in the ANZ Ladies Masters in Australia, shot her second straight 71 to finish at 2 under.
DUBAI DESERT CLASSIC
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez avoided the mistakes that slowed Ernie Els, shooting a 4-under 68 to take a one-stroke lead over the South African star in the Dubai Desert Classic. Jimenez had a 16-under 200 total. Els shot a 67. He took four putts from 20 feet for a double bogey on the opening hole, then recovered with seven birdies. Scotland's Colin Montgomerie (66) was three strokes back.
