Sweden on track for World Am title
GOLFWEEK STAFF

Sweden increased its lead to 11 strokes over Spain Friday after the third round of the Women’s World Amateur Team Championship at The Grange Golf Club’s East and West Courses.
 
Caroline Hedwall shot an even-par 73 and Anna Nordqvist (pictured) posted a 74 on the East course as Sweden picked up three strokes on second-place Spain. They finished 54 holes at 14-under 422, tying a championship record for the second-largest third-round lead.
 
“Normally in golf, the third day is moving day but it was more like a waiting day,” Swedish captain Walter Danewid said. “Spain was closest to us but not much was happening. We seemed like we were waiting.”
 
The Swedes are vying for their second title and the chance to become the first wire-to-wire winners since the USA in 1990. This trio of Swedish players won the European Team Championships in 2008.
 
Japan jumped two places to third with a third-round 3-under 143.
 
The USA made the day’s biggest move with a 4-under 142 to move into fourth. Alison Walshe posted the day’s best round, 69, and teammates Amanda Blumenherst and Tiffany Joh both shot 73.
 
“If all three of us play really well, we should be under par,” Walshe said. “It’s the kind of a thing where Sweden might be too far away. But, you never know.”
