South Korea’s Eun-Hee Ji shot a three-under 69 to grab a one-stroke lead over Aussie Karrie Webb after the third round of the LPGA C’ship, the second major of the 2012 season. “Today my iron shots helped with my play. I keep it on the fairway, and I’m hitting really close to the hole and I made the easier putts,” Ji said. On a day when a rain delay halted play for more than two hours, Ji moved to four-under-par 212 at the Locust Hill Country Club course. Ji won the 2009 US Women’s Open, so the 26-year-old is gunning for her second major championship. Webb had a four-under 68 Saturday, matching Ji for the best round of the tournament. “Whether I win tomorrow or not, just the feelings that I will have tomorrow with a chance to win is what I work hard for,” Webb said. “And I probably want it more now than I ever have in my career just because I don’t feel it as often as I would like.”
