For almost an hour on Saturday, it looked like Inbee Park was losing the dominant grip she’d had on the 68th US Women’s Open since it started.
Then, just as methodically, Park restored order, and returned to the path that appears to have just one destination. She’s one round away from joining Babe Zaharias as the only players to win the first three major championships in an LPGA Tour season. Zaharias did it 63 years ago.
What’s more, Park is attempting to go wire-to-wire at Sebonack Golf Club, and has doubled her lead over I.K. Kim every day. She led by one stroke after opening with 67, led by two following a second-round 68, and now finds herself four shots in front. Full story for BostonGlobe.com subscribers.
