LPGA TOUR'S CANADIAN PACIFIC OPEN

 SO YEON RYU SET FOR FIRST WIN IN 

TWO YEARS AT TWENTY-UNDER-PAR

FROM THE LPGA WEBSITE
So Yeon Ryu not only has the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open’s scoring record in sight, she’s got her LPGA career scoring record of 27-under shaking at this point after a 5-under 67 Saturday has her at 20-under-par 196 for the tournament at London Hunt and Country Club, Ontario
“I think my lowest score was 29-under when I was 16 at the Asian Games. If I have a chance, I want to break my current record. Also, if I can, I want to break another LPGA record,” Ryu said.
Ryu’s owned the 54-hole lead three times before. Twice it resulted in a win – 2011 U.S. Women’s Open and 2012 Jamie Farr Toledo Classic – and the other time at the 2013 Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, she finished second. But she’s never led by this much at this point, owning a four-shot lead over close friend Na Yeon Choi and Spain's Azahara Munoz, who sit at 16-under-par.
“I think she is due. I think she was due a long time ago, but she probably threw her opportunities away,” said Inbee Park, one of Ryu’s best friends on Tour. 
“Hopefully, if I can’t do it this time, hopefully she does it. I’m really rooting for her.”
The ridiculous pace Ryu continued to set is the only reason Azahara Munoz isn’t the major story Saturday after the Spanish player charged back into contention by tying So Yeon Ryu’s course record, which was set all of two days ago, with a spectacular 9-under 63 that included six birdies in seven holes from No. 11 through No. 17.
“First round I played really well, and today I played really well, too. I just didn’t make the putts. Today I think the made the most,” Munoz said. “Hopefully my putter keeps being hot like it is now and just have fun tomorrow.”
“I haven’t won a tournament in the last two years. It’s a really tough time for me,” Ryu said. “I really want to stop it. I just want to make it a really fantastic experience.”

Munoz is looking for the second win of her career, with the last coming in 2012 at the Sybase Match Play Championship at Hamilton Farm Golf Club. She was also aware that she had a chance to set a course record with a birdie on 18. She missed her putt on the high side of the hole.
Inbee Park wasn’t particularly pleased with a 17-par stretch to start Friday’s round and felt like it carried over to Saturday’s round when she parred the first seven holes. She knew she had to go low to make a charge. Luckily, whatever she was missing, she figured out on the back nine, firing a 6-under-par 30 on the back nine to post the second best round of the day – a 7-under-par 65.
