Australian Katherine Hull returned from a two-hour thunderstorm delay to birdie the final hole and open up a two-stroke lead with a round to go in the HSBC Women&aposs Champions event in Singapore. Hull, winner of the Australian Masters by five shots last month, fired a third-round 66 to move onto the 11-under-par total of 205. American Angela Stanford, also with one title under her belt already this season, matched Hull&aposs round to move into second place, while overnight leaders Paula Creamer and Jane Park managed only 72 and 73 respectively. Creamer is now fifth and Park joint sixth in a group which also includes world number one and defending champion Lorena Ochoa and 48-year-old Juli Inkster. Hull, resuming one behind, birdied three of the first five holes and after a bogey on the next added four more birdies. Stanford, who in Hawaii last month denied Michelle Wie her first LPGA victory, picked up six birdies to make up for double-bogeying the 18th in round two. Creamer mixed four birdies with four bogeys, the last of them on the final hole, while Park had a battle on her hands from the moment she bogeyed two of the opening four. As on the opening day Ochoa did not drop a stroke, but managed only three birdies to fall six adrift.
