BRADENTON, Fla, (AP) — Hometown favorite Kelly Korda shot a 3-under 68 with an eagle-birdie finish Saturday to take a three-shot lead into the final round of the LPGA Drive On Championship.
Trying to complete a wire-to-wire victory at Bradenton Country Club, Korda rebounded with the late flurry after making consecutive bogeys on Nos.
“Being in Florida I always get a lot of support, but hometown, it’s crazy.
“It was really windy,” said Ko, a victory short of entering the LPGA Hall of Fame.
It didn’t really die down until we were pretty much on the last hole.”___
