Miyazato leads by three in Safeway Classic
NORTH PLAINS, Oregon (AP) — Chasing her fifth LPGA Tour victory of the year, Ai Miyazato shot a 5-under 67 on Saturday to take a three-stroke lead into the final round of the LPGA Safeway Classic.
The Japanese star was 11 under on Pumpkin Ridge's Ghost Creek Course.
Juli Inkster was tied for second at 8 under with Song-Hee Kim (64) and Na Yeon Choi (67) after an apparent 67, but was disqualified because she swung a weighted training aid on her club to stay loose during a long hold-up at the 10th hole.
Miyazato has won four tournaments this season and is among five players in a tight battle for the No. 1 spot in the rankings. Cristie Kerr is currently No. 1, followed by Miyazato, Jiyai Shin, Suzann Pettersen and Yani Tseng.
The cut fell at 147. Catriona Matthew missed out on 150 (77-73) and Janice Moodie on 152 (79-73).
