Alfredsson started the third round one stroke ahead of Lindley and built the lead to six strokes when she made a two-putt birdie on the par-5 sixth hole. But the double bogey at No. 13 cut the lead to two strokes and a bogey on No. 18 dropped her into the tie with Davies.
On Sunday, Davies and Alfredsson – many times teammates for Europe in the Solheim Cup – will be the last twosome of the day preceded by Sorenstam and McGill, right after Lindley and Matthew. That’s the kind of leaderboard you dream of having in a major championship – and one that you rarely get.
THE FIRST TIME SHE MET DAME LAURA DAVIES
“We were in Holland, I think, for the European Team Championship. She was so long, and we were like, who is this person. We were told to lay up, and by the time we hit our second shot we were at her drive, and it’s like, this is not working; we’ve got to figure out something. We’ve been friends ever since.” – Helen Alfredsson on the first time she played with Laura Davies.
