Anna Nordqvist Shoots a 61 in the 3rd round and sets a course record.  It's a record that can only be broken by someone on the LPGA tour because no one else plays that course all year long.  The front nine is the Palmer course and the back nine is the Faldo course.

I was rooting for Stacy Lewis to get back into the winners circle. Glad to see her form coming back. Congrats to Anna! She had a great ball striking day.

The back nine is actually the Faldo course.

The back nine is actually the Faldo course.

Yes, my mistake!!  Not sure what I was thinking!!  I've played both courses many times; had my career low round 69 on the Palmer course.
