Cink overtakes Woods in Bridgestone tourney

Tiger Woods kept his ball on the golf course Saturday, but he had trouble getting it in the hole. With his longest streak of bogeys in nearly 10 years, that allowed Stewart Cink to find himself in a familiar spot at the Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio.

Cink made two great par saves early in his round that kept his momentum, then rolled to a 6-under 64 that allowed him to shoot past Woods, who bogeyed four straight holes, and Davis Love III and into a one-shot lead at this World Golf Championship.

Cink, who was at 9-under 201, has a one-shot lead over Woods, Love and Paul Casey of England, who matched Cink with a 64.

LPGA Tour

Lorena Ochoa shot an 8-under 64 to take a two-shot lead heading into the final round of the Wendy's Championship for Children in Dublin, Ohio.

The 24-year-old is trying to win for the third time this year. She also has five seconds, a third, two fourths and a fifth-place finish in 17 starts.

She stands at 17-under 199 heading into the final round, which will start early to avoid a predicted thunderstorm this afternoon.

A victory would vault Ochoa past Karrie Webb to No. 1 on the LPGA Tour money list. She came into this week at No. 2, just $1,000 behind Webb.

Dalhousie Golf Club touring pro Karen Stupples shot a 70 and was at 4 under.

U.S. Amateur

Richie Ramsay overcame his second penalty in two days to hold off Webb Simpson on Saturday in the semifinals of the U.S. Amateur at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn.

Ramsay will play University of Missouri senior John Kelly in the 36-hole finale today with the chance to become the first player from Scotland to win the U.S. Amateur since Findlay Douglas in 1898. By advancing to the finals, Kelly and Ramsay earned invitations to the U.S. Open and the Masters.

Ramsay was 2-up on Simpson, a Wake Forest junior, with three holes to play when he was penalized for hitting the ground on a practice stroke in a hazard. The ruling automatically awarded the hole to Simpson, but Ramsay halved the final two holes to hang on and win 1-up.

In the other semifinal Saturday, Kelly's steady play propelled him to a 2-and-1 victory over Ryan Yip of Canada.

The players were even heading into the back nine before Kelly hit a beautiful second shot on No. 10 that sailed over a tree protecting the green within 10 feet. He made the birdie putt to go 1-up.

Four of his Missouri golf teammates, who drove 10 hours to arrive in time, let out a loud cheer when the putt hit the cup.
