SYLVANIA, Ohio --- No one was more surprised to find Eunjung Yi leading the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic through three rounds than Eunjung Yi.

"I'm the leader?" she repeated, incredulous, when asked how it felt to be leading the pack. "Really? I didn't know that. By four strokes?"

She was apparently so into just taking care of the shot in front of her, it never dawned on Yi that she was running away with the Farr.

She recorded eight birdies and an eagle in 10-under-par 61 to build a four-shot lead Saturday over Song-Hee Kim (64) and Morgan Pressel (67).

The 21-year-old Yi, who has never finished better than a tie for 11th in her 23 LPGA Tour events, was at 18-under 195 after putting up the lowest third-round score in the tournament's 25 years.

"I like this course. I can shoot very good," she said, disdaining a translator.

"We have more holes tomorrow. I'll stay focused."

Yi grew up in South Korea but now spends summers at a rambling 9-bedroom, 41/2-bath home in the San Diego area with her father, mother, two brothers and a sister -- who joined her in the States two years ago. Her father runs a Korean restaurant.

"If I win, my dad will give everyone a free meal," she said with a laugh.

After starting the day tied for seventh and three shots back of Sarah Kemp and Laura Diaz, Yi birdied four holes on the front side and then started the back by holing a 110-yard pitching wedge from the fairway for eagle.

Continuing to pour it on, she had birdies at Nos. 12, 13, 16 and 17.

EUROPEAN TOUR: In Saint-Quentin-En-Yvelines, Rafa Echenique held onto his lead at the French Open, shooting 1-under-par 70 for a one-stroke advantage over Martin Kaymer, who had 69.

Echenique is at 11-under 202.

Paul Waring had 68 to climb from seventh to third, two strokes off the lead and one better than Seve Benson, who also shot 68.

Benson had a share of fourth with Richard Green (70) and Peter Hanson (70).

Lee Westwood (70) and Ian Poulter (66), are four and five strokes back respectively.

Former Augusta State golfer Oliver Wilson had 71 and is 10 shots off the lead.
