Submitted by Johannes on Sat, 2008-05-03 22:19. golfIgnacio Garrido of Spain shot an even-par 72 Saturday to take a three-stroke lead into the final round of the Spanish Open. Garrido three-putted for a bogey at the par-4 18th hole, but still led countryman Miguel Angel Jimenez (67) with a 15-under total of 201. Garrido shot a course record 63 on Friday. Garrido's father, Antonio, won the Spanish Open in 1972 - less than three weeks after Ignacio was born - and the pair could become the first father-son duo to win the same European Tour event.

Lorena Ochoa, going for her record-tying fifth straight LPGA Tour victory, lost momentum with back-to-back bogeys and wound up eight shots behind, needing the best comeback of her career.
