Yani Tseng saves her best for majors

Yani Tseng was in command at the LPGA Championship and the Taiwanese world number one relished Sunday's opportunity to add to her record-setting collection of major crowns. Tseng will carry a five-stroke lead into the final round of the LPGA Championship at Locust Hill Country Club and a victory would make the 22-year-old the youngest golfer ever to amass four major titles. "That sounds pretty good. I'm working on that," the 22-year-old Tseng told reporters Saturday about overtaking Pak Se-ri of South Korea and Tiger Woods, who both were 24 when they won their fourth professional majors. "Don't give up until the last putt drops in," she said. "Tomorrow I'm just going to go out there and smile all day and then play smart and just have fun. But it's in my mind that's for sure. I'm trying to win another major." Tseng has grown accustomed to trailblazing. When she won her first major at the 2008 LPGA Championship at Bulle Rock at age 19 she became the youngest winner of the tournament and the first women's golfer from Taiwan to win a major title. Her victory at last year's Women's British Open made her the youngest player to win three LPGA majors. The likable, long-hitting Tseng said majors brought out the best in her. "I just love it. I love the crowds. Majors always get big crowds. The course is very hard and I always like the challenge and it just makes me feel like I can focus more on the major," she said. "It's not easy to shoot a low score on a major golf course. So that's already in my mind, so I don't put too much expectations, like to shoot 20-under, on a major course. I need to be patient and that's going to work out well." Tseng said she would bring the same attitude to the course tomorrow. "I am going to feel the same as today," she said about her approach to the final round. "I think I will be nervous for sure. But I feel very relaxed right now and hopefully tomorrow, still the same."

Sweden's Jacobson storms into lead at Travelers

CROMWELL, Connecticut: Sweden's Fredrik Jacobson put himself in position for his first PGA Tour victory by capping a flawless round at the Travelers Championship on Saturday with a birdie on the last hole for a one-shot lead. Jacobson, who has not recorded a bogey all week, fired a seven-under 63 that moved him to a 16-under total of 194 to lead American Bryce Molder (64) into Sunday's final round. The Swede, who won three times on the European Tour in 2003 but nowhere since, started the day four shots off the lead but took advantage of ideal scoring conditions as the sun finally broke through after days of rain at TPC River Highlands. He carded three birdies on the front nine and four more after the turn, including one on 18 where he drained a monster 31-foot putt for the outright lead. "It was a little bit of a speedy putt and it had a bit of pace so I was hoping it would hit the hole," Jacobson said. "I was certainly happy when it hit the hole." Molder, also seeking his maiden PGA Tour win, had seven birdies and a bogey to be well placed for Sunday. American James Driscoll (64) was alone in third a further two shots back with a clutch of players tied fourth four strokes off the pace. "It would mean a lot (to win a PGA title). That's why I came over and I've been here quite a long time now," Jacobson said. "I won a few times in Europe and I came over because I wanted to see if I can win here. That's always been my goal." Patrick Cantlay, who took a one-shot lead into the third round after becoming the first amateur to card a 60 on the PGA Tour on Friday, was five shots back after a bogey-bogey finish that saw him slump to a 72. Cantlay, whose record round will be featured in a display at the World Golf Hall of Fame, made long birdie putts at the ninth and 11th but was unable to build on the momentum. "I didn't hit it very good today and I hit a couple bad drives coming in and it cost me," Cantlay said. "I could have made a couple more putts, as it is in every round. "But I'm in a good position and probably would have taken it at the beginning of the week, so I'm in a good spot and I'm going to play well tomorrow." The second round was finished Saturday morning with the cut set at four-under, a tournament record. Among those who missed the cut were former US Open champions Geoff Ogilvy and Jim Furyk, British Open winners Justin Leonard and Ben Curtis as well as Americans Anthony Kim and Kenny Perry, the winner here in 2009.
