FROM THE LPGA TOUR WEBSITE
Wildfire Golf Club at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa
Phoenix, Arizona
Second-round notes and interviews
LEADERBOARD
Angela Stanford -12, Rolex Rankings No. 25
Brittany Lincicome -9, Rolex Rankings No. 23
Cristie Kerr -7, Rolex Rankings No. 5
Angela Stanford maintained her lead following a 6-under par 66 going into Sunday’s final-round at the RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup. A four-time winner on the LPGA Tour, Stanford carded seven birdies and one bogey during the second round of play at Wildfire Golf Club at the J W Marriot Desert Ridge Resort and Spa in Phoenix, Arizona.
Stanford, who is looking to record her first victory since the 2009 SBS Open at Turtle Bay, is playing for a charity near and dear to her heart, The Angela Stanford Foundation. The Angela Stanford Foundation focuses largely on supporting families whose loved ones have been diagnosed with cancer.
Three-time tour winner Brittany Lincicome is chasing Stanford for the inaugural R R Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup crown. Lincicome, who is looking for her first victory since the 2009 Kraft Nabisco Championship, shot a second-round 68 to go into Sunday’s final round three strokes behind Stanford.
Closely trailing Stanford and Lincicome is the duo of Mindy Kim and Cristie Kerr. Kerr, who is known for her final-round charges, overcame an eight-stroke deficit at the 2006 CN Canadian Women’s Open to defeat Angela Stanford by one stroke.
The entire $1 million purse of the R R Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup goes to charity, half to the LPGA-USGA Girls Golf program, half to the charities chosen by the top-10 finishers. Here are the charities for the top 10 after the second round:
1: Angela Stanford, The Angela Stanford Foundation
2: Brittany Lincicome, First Tee of St. Petersburg
3: Mindy Kim, Make A Wish Foundation of Central Florida
4: Cristie Kerr, Birdies for Breast Cancer/Muhammad Ali Parkinson’s Foundation
T5: Seon Hwa Lee, American Heart Association
T5: Karrie Webb, Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation
T5: Mina Harigae, Japan Relief Charity TBD
T8: Paula Creamer, Japan Relief Charity TBD
T8: Sun Young Yoo, Japan Relief Charity TBD
T10: Stacy Prammanasudh, Special Olympics of Tulsa, Oklahoma
T10: Sandra Gal, Barevn svt dt (The Colorful World of Children)
Cut…76 players survived Saturday’s cut at two-over-par 146.
Of note… Yani Tseng, No. 1 in the Rolex Rankings and four-time winner worldwide in 2011, shot a second consecutive one-over-par 73 to move into a tie for 63rd at two-over-par 146 … Karrie Webb, who has won 27 times on the LPGA and is the last player to win in the Phoenix area (2009), shot a second-round five-under par 67 to go into Sunday’s final round six shots off the lead ... Mindy Kim recorded seven birdies in Saturday’s second round including five consecutive birdies in her first five holes.
