Lisa Walters saved her best for last.
The eight-year LPGA Tour player tied a career best with a 7-under-par 65 Saturday to tie the course record and give her a one-shot victory over Missie Berteotti and Kristi Albers at the Hawaiian Ladies Open in Honolulu.Michelle McGann, who started the day tied for the lead with Berteotti at 6-under, and Dottie Mochrie, who shot 65 to finish at 6-under.
Walters finished with a 54-hole score of 8-under 208. The round tied her career-best shot last year at the LPGA Classic.
"I just came from behind and had a career day," Walters said. "I can't believe it. I feel like I won a gold medal at the Olympics."
In San Diego, an unprecedented shotgun start was avoided Saturday when heavy fog forced cancellation of the third round of the Buick Invitational of California.
Play was called for the day at 2 p.m. PST and the tournament was shortened to 54 holes, with the final round scheduled for Sunday on the South course at Torrey Pines.
The course, stretching along cliffs overlooking the Pacific, was shrouded by heavy fog long before the round's scheduled starting time and none of 74 players got away.
Officials, anticipating a lifting of the fog, made continguency plans for a shotgun start - using all 18 tees as starting points. The simultaneous start frequently is used in unofficial competition as club tournaments, corporate outings and pro-am events.
Tom Watson, 41, shared the lead at 131, 13-under par, with Brad Faxon and Mike Springer.
