PHOENIX – Stacy Lewis finds herself in a familiar spot.

After a 5-under-par 67 Saturday, Lewis moved four shots off the lead going into the final round of the JTBC Founders Cup. That’s exactly how many shots she came from behind when she won here last year.

“It would be awesome to win here again,” Lewis said. “I’ve said it over and over again, this is my favorite tournament. I love the concept of the entire event. Just to win here, have the founders here, to win in front of them means a lot.”

A year ago, Lewis caught and passed Ai Miyazato to win.

“Anything can happen,” Lewis said. “I’m going to try to make as many birdies as I can, but I would have liked to have gotten a little bit closer today.”

With her victory here last year, Lewis ascended to No. 1 in the world.
