Stanford shoots 67 to lead LPGA Classic

MOBILE, Ala., Sept. 13 (UPI) -- Angela Stanford made five birdies in a six-hole stretch and shot a 5-under 67 Saturday for the third-round lead at the Bell Micro LPGA Classic.

Stanford, who began the day trailing Cristie Kerr by two strokes, moved to 12 under 204 for a four-shot lead over Katherine Hull. The 30-year-old Texan is after her second LPGA Tour win.

Hull had a double-bogey six at the 18th hole to wind up at 4-under 68 for the round.

Kerr could only manage a 76, sending her to a fifth-place tie with a 211 total.

Angela Park (69) and Shanshan Feng (70) were two shots further back at 210 -- the only other players within six strokes of Stanford's lead.
