LPGA Hall of Famer Park In-bee of South Korea fired a three-under par 69 and stretched her lead to five strokes after Saturday’s third round of the LPGA Kia Classic.
Park, a seven-time major champion seeking her 21st career LPGA title, stood on 12-under 204 after 36 holes at Aviara, north of San Diego.
“I think it’s just going to be the same game plan that I have done for last three days, and hopefully things work out just exactly the same as what we have done for three days,” Park said. “Just trying to hit a lot of fairways and greens and hopefully the putts will fall.”
The 27-year-old Chan had played herself into contention after a blistering round two in which she registered six birdies on her way to a three-under-par 69. She currently sits at three-over for the tournament in a share of 64th place.
