SANDRA GAL GOES THREE CLEAR IN LPGA TOUR 2013 FINALE
FROM THE ESPN SPORT.COM WEBSITE
NAPLES, Florida -- Sandra Gal from Germany handled the wind and built a three-shot lead going into the weekend at the LPGA Titleholders.
A strong, steady wind at Tiburon Golf Club kept everybody in the mix at the final LPGA Tour event of the year.
Gal pulled away with three birdies on the back nine for a 3-under 69. She has a three-shot lead over former Kraft Nabisco champion Sun Young Yoo, who had a 68. Cristie Kerr was among those five shots behind.
Gal was at 11-under 133. At stake this weekend is $700,000 to the winner, the largest payoff in women's golf. That would amount to one-third of Gal's career earnings.
Lydia Ko, a 16-year-old from New Zealand making her pro debut, had another 71 and is nine shots out of the lead.
