Paula Creamer leads

FROM THE LPGA TOUR WEBSITE:
Five-time LPGA Tour winner Paula Creamer (70-71-69=210) holds a two-stroke lead at 3-under par at the SemGroup Championship.
Creamer started the day at 1-under 141, one shot ahead of Ji Young Oh. She carded four birdies, including birdie putts of 50-feet on hole nine and 40-feet on hole 12, before making two bogeys in her final three holes.
The final-round leader has now made two bogeys in her final three holes in each of the first three rounds. Creamer has held a final-round lead six times in her career, most recently at the 2007 Mitchell Company LPGA Tournament of Champions where she led by six strokes after three rounds and won by eight.
Her other victory with a final-round lead came at the 2005 Evian Masters where she led by seven strokes after three rounds and won by eight.
31-time LPGA Tour winner Juli Inkster shot the low round of the week on Saturday to move into solo second place. The 2006 SemGroup Championship runner-up fired a 4-under 67 to move to 1-under-par (72-73-67=212) heading into Sunday's final round at Cedar Ridge.
Catriona Matthew from North Berwick has moved up into joint ninth place on 219 by matching the par of 71 over this testing, 6602yd course.
