Tseng powers into lead

Sets course record in Canadian Open

Yani Tseng finished off a course-record 8-under 64 in the rain-delayed second round, then shot a 68 in the third to take a four-stroke lead in the Canadian Women's Open.

Tseng, the 19-year-old Taiwanese star who won the McDonald's LPGA Championship in early June and finished second two weeks ago in the Women's British Open, had a 14-under 202 total at Ottawa Hunt.

"I have to play my own game and not think too much. I have a four-shot lead, so there's a lot of room to play good."

South Korea's Se Ri Pak (68) was second, and defending champion Lorena Ochoa (74) and Katherine Hull (72) followed at 8 under.

Michelle Wie, using the last of her six LPGA Tour exemptions this year, was tied for 14th at 2 under after a 69. She opened with rounds of 75 and 70.
