SAN MARTIN, Calif. – Stacy Lewis says anyone under par has a chance to win the 71st U.S. Women’s Open. Nineteen players are in red numbers after three rounds at CordeValle, including a host of Americans. Brittany Lang, who finished runner-up at this event as an amateur in 2005, stands closest to leader Lydia Ko at 5 under, two strokes behind the World No. 1.
Angela Stanford, who lost in a playoff to Hilary Lunke at Pumpkin Ridge in 2003, is three back. Danielle Kang, a two-time U.S. Women’s Amateur champ, trails by four while Kris Tamulis and Lewis join 2007 USWO champion Cristie Kerr at 2 under.
