ALL FOUR SCOTS QUALIFY FOR FINAL ROUND

Laura Davies slumps out of lead, Tandi Cunningham leads by one stroke


FROM THE LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
GURGAON, India – South African Tandi Cuningham shot a four-under-par 68 to take a one stroke lead into the final round of the Hero Honda Women's Indian Open.
The 24-year-old from Johannesburg finished on a two-round total of 140, four-under-par at DLF Golf & Country Club in Gurgaon near New Delhi.
Italy's Veronica Zorzi, who had a 72 and Cassandra Kirkland of France, who shot 67, are tied for second spot a stroke behind.
Cuningham said that patience was crucial. "I did not want to experiment other things on the course and went for tidy play. My patience paid off," said the second year Ladies European Tour player.
After picking up strokes on the sixth, seventh and 15th holes, Cuningham said it felt sweet to finish with a birdie on 18.
She has won twice at home in South Africa and hopes to earn her first title on the Ladies European Tour.
"I need to win this to surprise my husband with a holiday - not to the Park where Woods and Elin got married - but out of Africa," she said. Her husband Paul Cuningham is a teaching professional at Wanderers’ Golf Club and normally acts as both coach and caddie.
"My shots were going well and for the final round tomorrow, it will be a do-or-die mission for me: aggression,” she said. “I'm going to charge: that's my gamble.”
It was a disappointing second day for the first round leader Laura Davies, who carded a 78, but she was only three shots off the pace heading into Saturday’s final round and still with a chance to secure her fifth title of the season.
European money leader Lee-Anne Pace also had a relatively poor round by her usually lofty standards. The five-time winner this season had a 77 which left her at two-over-par and six-shots behind her junior compatriot. However the duel between Davies and Pace for the 2010 Henderson Money List title is still ongoing.
Kirkland shot the day's lowest score of 67 with six birdies against a bogey and her best finish this year was a tie for 12th at the Aberdeen Ladies Scottish Open.
"I was feeling comfortable; getting good swings and targeting well at the places I wanted to be. This was complimented by a good feeling on the greens," said the 26-year-old.
Zorzi, aged 30, from Verona, is targeting her third victory on the Ladies European Tour after back-to-back French Open wins in 2005 and 2006. Her best finish this season was a tie for fourth at the Tenerife Ladies Open in July.
"It was a not a really good effort from me but honestly I was lucky because other players too did not return with good scores. That made my game look good and I'm happy to be where I am today," Zorzi said.
Davies was not too disappointed and said: "Well I did not play badly but my putts were not falling though I was hitting well. There was nothing wrong with my mood or my mental strength - just that things did not fall well in place."
Thailand’s Nontaya Srisawang and Wales’ Becky Morgan are in joint fourth on two-under and well within striking distance.
SCOTSWATCH. All four Scots made it through to Saturday's final round - Pamela Feggans and Vikki Laing doing it with nothing to spare on the limit mark of 146. Vikki Laing staged a grandstand finish to avoid missing the cut for the second tournament in a row. She birdied the last two holes after a double bogey 6 at the 10th and another shot dropped at the 16th had put her under real pressure.
Pamela Feggans is finding it a game of two halves in India - she has played the second nine holes in a total of one-over-par, but the outward half over two days has cost 81 shots (40-41). Today she double bogeyed the second for a 6 for the second day in a row. She also bogeyed the long sixth and then had another double bogey 6 at the seventh to be five over par for the day at the turn.
Then came the holes Pamela must like. She rolled off eight pars before birdieng the 18th for a second successive 76.
Kylie Walker is the highest-placed Scot in joint 17th position with scores of 71 and 75 for 146. Kylie started badly with bogeys at the first and sixth but she birdied the long sixth on her way to one-over 37 for the first nine. She had a double bogey 6 at the 12th but parred in from there.
Carly Booth is lying in joint 36th position after improving from a 76 to a 72.
She had an even worse start than Kylie - bogeying the first three holes - but back-to-back birdies at the fifth and sixth repaired some of the damage as she reached the turn in one-over 37. 
The Comrie teenager bogeyed the 12th but birdied the long 14th - that hole cost her a triple bogey 7 on the first day - and also birdied the 15th to come home in one-under-par 35.
