PINEHURST, N.C. -- In the midst of throwing away a four-shot lead, Michelle Wie never lost sight of the big picture at Pinehurst No. 2. The U.S. Womens Open rarely goes according to plan, and Saturday was no exception. Wie knows that from experience long ago, and she settled down with four important pars to wind up with a 54-hole share of the lead for the third time in her career. Wie was a teenager the other two times. Now at 24, she was one round away from capturing her first major. "Im just grateful for another opportunity," Wie said after salvaging a 2-over 72 to tie Amy Yang. "Tomorrow Im going to play as hard as I can and hope for the best." Yang, who earned a spot in the final group for the second time in three years, didnt make a par until the eighth hole in a wild round so typical of this day. Only a sloppy bogey on the final hole cost her the outright lead, though she was more than happy with a 68. They were at 2-under 208, the only players still under par. A pivotal moment for Wie came on the 12th hole. She reached 6 under for the tournament with back-to-back birdies at the turn. She made her first double bogey of the tournament with a tee shot she hooked into the pine trees on the 11th. Her next drive sailed well to the right and settled on a sandy path. Instead of punching under the trees and over the bunker to the green -- anything long is a tough up-and-down -- she pitched out to the fairway and made bogey. "U.S. Opens are tough," she said. "I feel like maybe on a different golf course, I would have taken that chance. You just dont want to be too greedy out here. Even though you make bogey, sometimes you just dont want to make a double out here. I felt like I made the right decision there." The USGA set the course up relative to what the men faced last Saturday in the U.S. Open when wire-to-wire winner Martin Kaymer had his only over-par round with a 72. It was short (6,270 yards) but tough because of the pin positions. That didnt stop Juli Inkster. The 53-year-old Hall of Famer, who has said her 35th appearance in the Womens Open will be her last, had a tournament-best 66 to get into contention. She will be in the penultimate group, four shots out of the lead, still dreaming of a third Open title that would make her by 10 years the oldest Womens Open winner. "You can think and you can dream all you want," Inkster said. "But the bottom line is youve got to come out and make the shots. And if Im tied for the lead coming up 18, then maybe Ill think about it. Ive got a long way to go. Im just going to enjoy the moment and hit a few balls and see what happens." Also remaining in the hunt was Lexi Thompson, who won the first LPGA major this year in a final-round duel with Wie, and pulled within one shot of Wie with a pair of birdies early in the round. It fell apart on two holes. Thompson missed the green to the left on No. 8 -- the worst spot at Pinehurst -- and her first chip fell down the slope, leading to double bogey. On the next hole, she went long over the green and chose to take relief she really didnt need from a white line marking the TV tower. Thompson went to the drop zone, and her ball rolled back into a divot. Worst yet, she still used her putter, and it hopped high out of the divot and had no chance to reach the green. She made another double bogey, then made three straight bogeys on the back nine. She birdied the final hole for a 74 that left over 3 over. Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont., finished the third round in a tie for 18th place, while Sue Kim of Langley, B.C., tumbled to 56th. Na Yeon Choi had a 71 and was in the group with Inkster at 2-over 212 along with Stephanie Meadow (69) and 18-year-old amateur Minjee Lee of Australia (72). Another shot back were So Yeon Ryu, who played her final 10 holes in 3 under for a 70, and Karrie Webb, who went the final 12 holes without a bogey for a 70. "Michelle Wie has put a few of us back into the tournament," Webb said. "Two hours ago, I didnt think I had a shot. Im pretty happy about that." Wie hit 8-iron to 8 feet for birdie on the par-3 ninth, and then hit a beautiful lag from about 80 feet for at two-putt birdie on the par-5 10th to reach 6 under. One swing changed everything. The back tee on No. 11 was used for the first time all week, playing at 444 yards. Lucy Li, the 11-year-old who missed the cut as the Womens Opens youngest qualifier in history, walked the final 12 holes with the last group. "Man, that hole is like 10 times harder from there," she said. "Well, maybe not for them." Definitely for them based on their shots. Wie hit a snap-hook that rambled through the trees and left her no shot but to go sideways and slightly back. She hit her third in a greenside bunker, blasted out about 25 feet long and nearly off the green and made double bogey. "You cant be in the tree here," Wie said. "But I felt like I grinded out there." Thats what it usually takes in the U.S. Womens Open. Wie shot 82 in final round at Cherry Hills when she was 15. She missed a playoff at Newport by two shots a year later. She is back again, a 24-year-old former teen prodigy, 18 holes away and still a long way to go.

Viewers in the Senators region can watch the game live on TSN5 starting at 7:30pm et. You can also listen to the game on TSN Radio 1200 in Ottawa. The Wild carried a three-game winning streak into Tuesdays home game against Pittsburgh and were handed a 4-1 loss by the Penguins, who won their fifth straight contest. Pittsburgh has allowed only four goals during that winning streak. Minnesota head coach Mike Yeo would like his team to forget about Tuesday and aim for a rebound effort tonight in Canadas capital. I think we know that it wasnt good enough, and now we turn our sights towards the next one, Yeo said after Tuesdays setback. The Wild, however, have had little success against the Senators in recent years, losing seven of the last eight meetings in this series. Minnesota did earn a win in its most recent trip to Ottawa, picking up a 4-3 regulation victory on Nov. 20 of last season. That win halted the Wilds three-game road losing streak versus the Sens. Minnesota fired 34 shots at Pittsburghs Thomas Greiss on Tuesday, but only Nino Niederreiter was able to get one past the Pens backup goaltender. Darcy Kuemper allowed three goals on 21 shots in the Wilds first home loss, as Minnesota fell to 5-1-0 at Xcel Energy Center. In addition to suffering their first home defeat, the Wild lost Zach Parise to injury on Tuesday and he wont be joining the team for their three-game road trip. Parise, who leads Minnesota with 10 points this season, suffered an upper-body injury against the Pens. Forward Matt Cooke sat out Tuesdays test and also wont be with the team tonight due to a a lower-body issuue.dddddddddddd Ottawa halted a two-game slide with Tuesdays 3-1 home win over Detroit. The Red Wings and Senators were tied at 1-1 late in the third period, but Patrick Wiercioch tallied the go-ahead goal for Ottawa with 5:23 left in regulation and Clarke MacArthur added an empty-net tally in the final minute. Erik Karlsson finished with a power-play goal and an assist in the victory. Craig Anderson turned aside 31 shots for Ottawa. Anderson will get the start again for Ottawa this evening, the first time a Senators goaltender has gone back-to-back this season. but is just 3-7-2 with a 3.08 goals against average in 13 career games versus the Wild. Niklas Backstrom expects to start for the Wild. The Sens began a four-game homestand Tuesday and have still yet to lose in regulation on home ice this season, going 3-0-2 so far at Canadian Tire Centre. Ottawa defenseman Mark Borowiecki (upper body) missed his third straight game on Tuesday, while forward Alex Chiasson (foot) sat out after getting injured in Saturdays loss against Boston. Both players are questionable for tonight, as is defenseman Chris Phillips, who suffered a lower-body injury on Tuesday.
