Sorenstam grabs lead heading into final day at LPGA

Annika Sorenstam made four straight birdies that carried her to a 4-under 67 in the second round Saturday and a one-shot lead over Juli Inkster and Jennifer Rosales at the LPGA Championship in Wilmington, Del.

Inkster, who made up a two-shot deficit against Sorenstam to win the U.S. Women's Open at Prairie Dunes two years ago, shot a 5-under 66 and Rosales recovered from two bogeys on her first three holes to shoot 70.

"I like my position," said Inkster, who finished her round as Sorenstam was just getting started. "I have a chance on Sunday, and that's pretty much what you want to do."

LPGA Tour rookie Reilley Rankin shot a 67 and was at 5-under 137.

Grace Park, going after the second leg of the Grand Slam, had a 70 and was three shots behind.

Next up: A 36-hole finish to make up for lost time in the rain-delayed tournament.

"I don't mind," Sorenstam said. "Last year, I had played 34. This will be two more. I hope I can handle it."

Karen Stupples, the touring pro for Dalhousie Golf Club, shot a 73 and was at 2-under 140. She had shot a 67 and stood in a tie for second place after Thursday's play.
