WOMEN’S BRITISH OPEN

TURNBERRY, SCOTLAND

Norway’s Suzann Pettersen shot a 3-under 69 in windy morning conditions to take a two-stroke lead after the second round of the Women’s British Open. Pettersen had a 7-under 137 at Turnberry’s Alisa Course. New Zealand’s Lydia Ko, Taiwan’s Teresa Lu and South Koreans So Yeon Ryu and Jin-Young Ko were tied for second. The 18-year-old Lydia Ko shot a 73 in some of the worst conditions in the rainy afternoon, when the wind swirled and gusted up to 25 mph. Lu and Jin-Young Ko shot 71, and Ryu had a 72. Sweden’s Maria McBridewas the only player to beat Pettersen’s score with a bogey-free 66, but she was still way off the pace after opening with a 79.

3M CHAMPIONSHIP

BLAINE, MINN.

Local favorite Tom Lehman shot an 8-under 64 to open a three-stroke lead in the Champions Tour’s windy 3M Championship. Lehman had two birdies and an eagle in an early three-hole stretch, added a birdie on the par-4 ninth and closed with three more birdies at TPC Twin Cities, the course he helped Arnold Palmer design. The 56-year-old Lehman is from Alexandria and played at the University of Minnesota. He won the last of his eight Champions Tour titles last year in the Encompass Championship. Scott Dunlap had seven straight birdies in his 67. Grant Waite and P.H. Horgan III also shot 67. Marco Dawson, the Senior British Open winner last week, was another stroke back at 68 along with Bernhard Langer, Scott Hoch, Kirk Triplett and Jeff Sluman.
