Creamer has gone 45 holes without dropping a shot.

The 21-year-old American, seeking a fourth LPGA title and her first since this year's opener in February at Hawaii, shot 68 and for 16-under par 200, six clear of second-place compatriot Pat Hurst after three rounds.

Creamer, who led by five strokes when the day began, has gone 45 holes without a bogey.

She birdied the fifth and 12th on Saturday as well as the 15th and 18th for the third day in a row.

Hurst had a matching 68 to move into second, one stroke ahead of South Korean 24-year-old rookie Jin Joo Hong and two ahead of Korean Birdie Kim, Norway's Suzann Pettersen and Sweden's Annika Sorenstam.

Sorenstam is chasing a first title of the year and a place in next week's season-ending Tour Championship. E-mail to a friend E-mail to a friend
