Mexican heroine Lorena Ochoa is one further back. One behind her: defending champion Sophie Gustafson, Hall-of-Famer Juli Inkster, and Catriona Matthew, who shot a first-round 64.<\/p>\n<p>Grace Park grabbed the lead in the first round at Bighorn Golf Club and set a new 18-hole tournament record at 10-under 62. She shot a 5-under 67 on the second day to set a new 36-hole record and open a four-shot gap. Her 71 (-1) in round three slimmed the gap to three but again established a new tournament record at 200, previously established at 201 by her two closest trailers, Annika Sorenstam and Cristie Kerr, in 2002.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nPark three-putted the par-5 third for a bogey, but bounced back to -15 with a birdie on the sixth from 12 feet. Kerr tied Park at this point, with birdies on her first five holes, before falling of later with three bogeys in a span of six holes. Park pressed on, making five pars, before birdieing the eleventh from 12 feet and the twelfth from a foot to get to 17-under. She traded a bogey and a birdie at 14 and 15 before driving her ball well to the right on the eighteenth. A 4-minute, 30-second search turned up her ball but led to an unplayable lie, resulting in the finishing bogey.<\/p>\n<p>Looking to win this tournament wire to wire, Park has won five LPGA events (including one major), each of them with the lead going into the final day. She&#8217;s lost only one such lead, in this year&#8217;s Wachovia LPGA Classic, when Lorena Ochoa shot a final-round 65 to best Park.<\/p>\n<p>Said Park of her third-round performance:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m not showing if, but I&#8217;m extremely frustrated, but I&#8217;m sure there are a lot of frustrated golfers out there today. I mean, nobody really went deep today and the condition wasn&#8217;t any tougher than the first two days. I just think we all had a little, what do you call it? Whatever.
