U.S. Women's Open -- Day Four -- 2:08 PM MDT

For the record, it's worth watching this tournament just to see the scenery around Colorado Springs. The Broadmoor, where the tournament is being played, is a five-star resort built during the Age of Railroads -- when rich Americans really knew how to enjoy themselves -- and it is spectacularly beautiful.

Meanwhile, Seo is trying to run away from the field, while Cristie Kerr keeps having to save herself with some really good putting. Creamer has fallen back to three over, and she's probably out of it.

T1. H.K. Seo (KOR): -3 (61 holes)
T2. S.Y. Ryu (KOR): -2 (58)
T2. A. Stanford: -2 (57)
4. C. Kerr: -1 (58)

Blogger seems to be working better, so I will add to the comments as events warrant.

    Hee-Kyung Seo is 25 years old, and she mainly plays in Korea (where she has won 11 tournaments). She has won one LPGA tournament, and she has never come close to winning an LPGA major.

    Seo, who is 5' 7" tall, is known in Korea as the Supermodel of the Fairways.

    So Yeon Ryu, who is only 21 years old, also spends most of her time on the Korean tour. She has never won an LPGA event, and the NBC folks seem to be struggling to come up with good anecdotes about her.

    Seo just rolled in a long birdie putt on 8 to go four under par. She has now made three birdies in a row, and she is four under for her final round.

    Creamer just double-bogeyed the fourth hole to fall to five over par, nine shots off the lead.

    Seo shot a 68 in the morning round, and she's four under so far in the afternoon, so she is seven under for the day, which is just unbelievable.

    Kerr makes her third difficult par putt in a row on the fifth hole to stay alive.

    Angela Stanford holes a really long birdie putt on five to move to three-under par, only one shot behind Seo.

    But Seo hits her approach shot on nine to about five feet! She will have a great chance to move to five under.

    Angela Stanford is 33 years old. She grew up in Fort Worth and is a graduate of TCU. In 2003, she was part of a three-woman playoff in the U.S. Women's Open, but she lost to Hillary Lunke. Stanford has won four LPGA events, but has never won a major.

    Kerr, who has been putting well, bangs in a birdie on 7 to move to 2 under.

    But Seo rolls in her birdie putt on 9 to move to 5 under. After shooting a 68 this morning, she has gone out in only 31 shots.
