FROM THE SYMETRA TOUR WEBSITE
LONGWOOD, FLORIDA: Hannah Yun shot a course-record 6-under-par 65 in the second-round of the IOA Golf Classic to take a one-shot lead heading into the final round on Monday.
Yun is 8-under for the tournament after her stellar round.
The final-round will be played on Monday. Play was suspended due to weather on Saturday, forcing the completion of the 54-hole event to take place on Monday.
Yun played a flawless bogey-free round to jump from a tie for sixth to the leader with 18 holes to play. “Today was just one of those days where I was feeling right, I could see everything and it’s a lot of fun to play golf that way because it comes easy for you,” said the former Florida Gators golfer.
“I was just trying to keep my rhythm, stay free and I was able to do that very well today.”
Yun has one career victory and seven career top-10 finishes on the Symetra Tour. Her lone win came at the Volvik Championship in 2013.
“A win tomorrow would mean a lot, one step closer to the top-10 this year (on the Volvik Race for the Card money list),” said Yun.
“It would be huge if I could win another one this season; it would be a big boost to my confidence.”
Katelyn Sepmoree, a rookie on the Symetra Tour, shot a 5-under-par 66 on Saturday and stands in second place at 7-under for the tournament.
The former University of Texas Longhorns golfer also played a bogey-free round. Sepmoree finished the front nine with a string of four straight birdies between the sixth and ninth holes.
“I came here to win this event and to do it tomorrow would mean a lot,” said Sepmoree. “I played well today and I hope to continue that tomorrow.”
Kendall Dye fired a 1-under 70 and is 5-under-par for the tournament. She is in third place, three shots behind Yun.
Reilley Rankin, an LPGA Tour veteran, is in fourth place at 4-under. Rankin shot a 3-under 68 on Sunday.
Rankin has 14 career top-10 finishes on the LPGA Tour and has played at the highest level since 2004.
The cut line was 7-over-par and 82 players will compete on Monday in the final round.
Ashley Sholer made a hole-in-one on the par-3 second hole. She finished the final seven holes of her second round on Sunday.
She hit a 9-iron from 121 yards out to ace the second hole. It was the second hole-in-one of the IOA Golf Classic. Christine Wong made a hole-in-one on the 18th hole at Alaqua Country Club on Friday.
MOVING DAY: Below are some of the big moves made on Sunday at the IOA Golf Classic. The biggest move up the leaderboard of the day belonged to Joanna Coe (Rollins College), who fired a 5-under-par 66 and vaulted from T107 to T25.
