Paula Creamer sits four shots off the lead heading into the final round and used an eagle-birdie-birdie finish to jump up into a tie for fifth.

“You know, I’ve bogeyed that hole, 15, twice now, and I haven’t really had many bogeys except on that hole, and I was pretty fuming after that,” said Creamer.

The 10-time LPGA winner had six birdies, two bogeys and an eagle in her round of 66 on Saturday and said she feels really comfortable at the Carlsbad-based course.

“The whole day I gave myself lots of opportunities. I really like this golf course. I love playing in front of my friends and family, which is nice, but just starting to give myself more looks, and really having fun out there,” said Creamer.

With a tight leaderboard and 18 holes to play, Creamer said her strategy will be to get off to a quick start on Sunday.

“I want to start off strong, but if you look at today, I finished strong, so there’s really no way that ‑‑ either one you take, and just to not get too far behind,” said Creamer. “I don’t know where I’m going to sit after everybody is done, but I want to keep pace with everybody, and I’ll be a couple groups in front of the leaders, that’s for sure, so if I can post a good number, you never know what happens.”
