Maja Stark could tell pretty early Saturday that Erin Hills would provide much more of a challenge than it had in the first two days of the U.S. Women’s Open.

Yet she found a way to avoid the mistakes that befell so many other competitors during a brutal third round. Now the 25-year-old from Sweden is in position to earn the $2.4 million prize in the biggest event of the women’s golf season.

Stark shot a 2-under 70 to give her a 7-under 209 total and a one-shot advantage heading into the final round Sunday. Julia Lopez Ramirez of Spain was second after a 68, the best score of the day.

“I think I’m just going to try to play freely,” Stark said. “I think that no one has ever played well when they’ve been playing scared.”

Scottie Scheffler opened with 13 straight pars and then poured it on at the end for a 4-under 68 that gave him a one-shot lead Saturday over Ben Griffin at the Memorial.

College baseball: LSU Shreveport became the first college baseball team on record to go unbeaten, finishing 59-0 when it won the NAIA championship in Lewiston, Idaho. The Pilots’ perfect season ended with a 13-7 victory over Southeastern (Florida) on Friday night and gave the 10,000-student school in northwest Louisiana its first national title in any sport.

NHL: The Panthers don’t play hockey every day. It only seems like that’s the case. When the Panthers take the ice for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final in Edmonton on Wednesday night, it will be the team’s 309th game over the past three seasons and one that ties the NHL record for most games in a three-year span. And that, obviously, means the Panthers will break the record in Game 2 on Friday.

Soccer: Former Inter Milan club president Ernesto Pellegrini died on the day the team played the Champions League final. He was 84.
