Suzann only European through to last
eight of ADT Championship

FROM THE LPGA TOUR WEBSITE
And then there were eight. Three rounds are in the books at the LPGA’s season-ending ADT Championship, but not before Wegmans LPGA champion Eun-Hee Ji and LPGA Tour and World Golf Halls of Famer Karrie Webb outlasted Sun Young Yoo to advance to Sunday’s final round and their chance at the $1 million winner’s check at the Trump International Golf Club, West Palm Beach, Florida.
The trio fired even par, which was the cutline for the final eight players, who will begin the final round at 9:30 a.m. (EST) in twosomes with all scores starting over.
Sixteen players began the third round with fresh scorecards after a clean cut at 3-over-par 145 after Friday’s round.
Leading the third-round charge toward the $1 million winner’s check was Suzann Pettersen with a 4-under-par 68. Pettersen overcame a triple bogey on the fourth hole to rally with eight birdies on holes three, six, seven, 10 and 13 through 16 before a bogey on 17 to close out the round.
Pettersen’s debut in the ADT Championship via LPGA Playoffs 2008 was last year when she accumulated her five LPGA Tour victories, but was eliminated after Saturday’s third round. This year, she has not won, but has tallied nine top-10 finishes and advanced to Sunday’s final round.

Difficult to understand the concept of the ADT championship. There's no other golf tournament in the world like this one but it's like the cycling races in which the last racers in the field at certain points are eliminated. 'De'il-tak-the-hindmost' was how it used to be phrased in the Scottish language!
England's Karen Stupples, who has had some good finishes over the past month or two, was one of those eliminated in the third round in which she had a 79.
Long-time leader Katherine Hull's earlier scores counted for nothing when she had a 79 in the third round. That put her out.
