Stark and Grant have close ties in US pairs event in Michigan

Maja Stark was tied for eighth at the recent US Open, but otherwise neither she nor Linn Grant has had a stellar golf season on the LPGA Tour so far. Now the good friends have a chance at victory in the pairs competition in Michigan. The Swedes are three strokes off the lead heading into the final round.

"We could have played with others growing up, but for some reason it was always just the two of us. We've played so many rounds together," said Linn Grant after shooting 63 during Friday's best-ball, where players choose the best score on each hole.

The duo had a worse day during Saturday's foursomes, where the players hit the same ball every other stroke. Grant and Stark finished two strokes over par, and were not the only ones having a tough time on the course. The Swedes are tied for fourth at 7-under overall and are three strokes behind leaders Choi Hye-Jin and Kim Hyo-Joo of South Korea.

Sunday’s final round will be decided in the best-ball format.
