NORTH PLAINS, Ore. — Rookie Anna Nordqvist’s 3-under 69 moved her into a 1-shot lead over Seon Hwa Lee and Ai Miyazato going into the final round of the Safeway Classic. Nordqvist, who won the LPGA Championship earlier this year, was at 10-under 134 after the first two rounds at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club. Miyazato had three straight birdies on Nos. 8-10, all par-5 holes, to edge up the leaderboard with a 68 on Saturday. Lee sank a birdie putt on the par-4 18th hole and wound up with a 70.

Champions Tour

SNOQUALMIE, Wash. — Mark McNulty went to the range after the first round of the Boeing Classic to try to figure out how a sizzling first nine holes got away from him. McNulty didn’t make the same mistake in Saturday’s second round. McNulty shot a 7-under 65 and shares the lead heading to today’s final round. Loren Roberts had four birdies in his final six holes to match McNulty’s 65 and finish at 11 under. The duo holds a two-shot lead over Bernhard Langer and first-round leader Mark O’Meara. McNulty was 4 under on his first nine holes Saturday, then made another four birdies on the back nine. He birdied Nos. 14 and 15, then curled in a long birdie putt on the 16th to share the lowest round of the tournament.

U.S. Amateur

TULSA, Okla. — Byeong-Hun An will face fourth-seeded Ben Martin in his bid to become the youngest winner of the U.S. Amateur. After being 1 down heading to the 13th hole, the 17-year-old South Korean won four straight holes to close out a 3-and-2 victory against Fresno State sophomore Bhavik Patel on Saturday. Martin took a 4-up lead through six holes as Texas senior Charlie Holland got off to a sloppy start, and he cruised to a 5-and-4 victory. An and Martin will meet in a 36-hole match play final today at Southern Hills Country Club, the site of the 2007 PGA Championship.
