The women are out at Royal Lytham and St. Annes in England for the British Open. Today, 43-year-old Sherri Steinhauer of Madison, Wisconsin, posted a 6-under 66 to go to 7-under for the tourney — a full three strokes ahead of the field. Although Sherri is less well known, she’s won the British Open twice already, in 1999 and 1998, back when the tournament was not a major.
Lorena Ochoa posted a 7-under 65, to pull into a tie for second at -4, while Natalie Gulbis and her pal Cristie Kerr shot 67 and 66, respectively, to pull into a tie for third at -3.
