Rochester, June22: Rachel Teske doubled her overnight lead to four strokes with a par 72 in the third round of the Rochester LPGA. The Australian is going for her second title in a week after winning the Giant Eagle LPGA Classic last Sunday.
"I was kind of surprised - I thought somebody would be making a move but the conditions were pretty tough,said Teske
"I guess any time you shoot even-par and are still leading, it's a good day."
Teske leads South Koreans Se Ri Pak and Soo-Yun Kang, and Americans Brandie Burton and Stephanie Louden in a share of second.

"All we can do is make some more putts," said Pak.

"My balls just never went in. I need to concentrate on birdies and not just saving pars. I will give my best in the final round and just try to play great."

Lynette Brooky and Vibeke Stensrud share the lead after the third round of the Open de Dames France at Le Golf d'Arras, with England's Trish Johnson one shot back. Norwegian Stensrud made five birdies and an eagle during her round of 68, while New Zealand's Brooky managed a 69.

Johnson had four birdies and two bogeys during a 70.

"I played well, really well, I hit a lot of good shots, but I only had two under - so it was frustrating," said Johnson.
