MOBILE, Ala. -- Liselotte Neumann made a 15-foot birdie putt at the 18th hole for a 5-under 67 Saturday and a one-stroke lead after three rounds of the Mitchell Company LPGA Tournament of Champions.

With the closing birdie, Neumann broke out of a four-way tie and moved into the lead at 11-under 205 on the Magnolia Grove Golf Club's Crossings Course.

Defending champion Heather Daly-Donofrio had a 68 and joined Australia's Rachel Hetherington (72) and Christina Kim (72) at 10-under 206. Hetherington and Kim shared the lead and a four-stroke advantage heading into the third round.

Hall of Famer Juli Inkster, looking for her first victory since the 2003 Evian Masters, birdied No. 18 for a 68 and moved within three strokes of the lead at 8 under.

Neumann birdied four of her first six holes to erase a four-shot deficit and take the lead. She reached 11 under with a two-putt birdie at the par-5 16th. She gave that stroke back with a three-putt bogey at the par-3 17th, falling into a four-way tie for the lead before a birdie at the last.

"It's interesting how it works out sometimes," the 39-year-old Neumann said. "Someone up in the lead could have shot 2, 3 or 4 under and I still would have been quite a ways behind. If you shoot 5 or 6 under, you figure that you are going to hopefully catch up to someone."

NAPLES, Fla. -- Fred Couples and Adam Scott used six straight birdies in the best-ball format to shoot an 11-under 61 Saturday for a two-stroke lead heading into the final round of the Franklin Templeton Shootout.

The 46-year-old Couples and 25-year-old Scott birdied Nos. 5-10 to reach 15 under, parred the next three, and then birdied four of the last five to finish at 19 under at Tiburon Golf Club.

"We're two guys who can make a lot of birdies, and we did today," Scott said. "We did a pretty good job of picking up the slack for one another."

Kenny Perry and John Huston teamed up for a 63 and moved to 17 under, a stroke ahead of first-round leaders Fred Funk and Jason Gore, who followed an opening 63 with a 65.

"We're all good friends and you see more concessions and more sportsmanship -- more good sportsmanship," he said Saturday. "And the way it's supposed to be played rather than the Ryder Cup -- how it used to be played and how it is starting to get back to."
