World No. 1 Yani Tseng of Taiwan <\/strong>fired a five-under par 67 yesterday and gained a five-stroke lead after the third round of the LPGA Championship. She is shooting for a fourth major title.<\/p>\n

Tseng<\/strong>, was leading the year’s first major, the Kraft Nabisco, after 54 holes last April but fired a 74 and lost to American Stacy Lewis.<\/p>\n

Entering the final round, 22-year-old Tseng stood on 13-under par 203 with Americans Morgan Pressel and Cindy Lacrosse sharing second on 208 and South Korean Hee Young Park fourth on 210.<\/p>\n

A pack sharing fifth on 211 included South Korean Meena Lee<\/strong> and Americans Lewis, Paula Creamer and Cristie Kerr, who matched Tseng for the day’s low round. Creamer fired 18 pars to stay in the hunt.<\/p>\n

Tseng could complete a career Grand Slam at next month’s US Women’s Open<\/strong> after winning last year’s Kraft Nabisco and Women’s British Open crowns and the 2008 LPGA Championship.<\/p>\n

Tseng<\/strong> could become the first player since retired Mexican star Lorena Ochoa in 2008 to win a major after capturing the prior regular LPGA event, having won the LPGA State Farm Classic two weeks ago, her seventh career LPGA crown.<\/p>\n

Tseng also won her first four events of the year<\/strong>, the first in Taiwan, the next two in Australia and the LPGA season opener in Thailand.<\/p>\n
