Annika Sorenstam’s last tournament in Europe before she goes into retirement at the end of the year is the Nykredit Masters in Denmark starting tomorrow.

England’s Lisa Hall set her sights on becoming the first three-time winner on this season’s Ladies’ European Tour after taking the halfway leads at the Dubai Ladies’ Masters but Laura Davies was hard on her heels at the Emirates Golf Club.

A combination of youth and experience lead the Nykredit Masters after a wind-battered third round, with English duo Kiran Matharu and Kirsty Taylor tied on six under par at Helsinger in Denmark.
