LPGA 2022, Dana Open presented by Marathon, Sylvania, OH, 1-4 Sept: Day Three
Lucy Li keeps her lead; Hannah Green three back, T4
From ESPN, by AP:
SYLVANIA, Ohio -- Lucy Li played with a lead for the first time on the LPGA Tour and the 19-year-old was up to the task Saturday, recovering from a sluggish start for a 4-under 67 and a one-shot lead in the Dana Open.
Li was 2 over through seven holes and quickly fading from the picture at Highland Meadows when she responded with five birdies over the next 10 holes to regain the lead and set up a final round filled with possibilities. Read more
From Yahoo!Sports, by Riley Hamel:
Lucy Li wouldn’t be the youngest player to ever win on the LPGA, but if she goes on to win the Dana Open, it’d be one of the great accomplishments in the tour’s history.
Li birdied the 17th hole Saturday to regain the solo lead over Lexi Thompson and will enter the final round one ahead of the woman who owns the honor of the second-youngest player to win on the LPGA. Thompson won the 2011 Navistar LPGA Classic when she was 16 years, 7 months and 8 days old.
Lydia Ko is the youngest player to win, as she won the 2012 Canadian Women’s Open at 15 years, 4 months and 3 days. Read more
From RFI, by AFP:
US teen Lucy Li birdied six of the last 11 holes to fire a four-under par 67 and take a one-stroke lead after Saturday's third round of the LPGA Dana Open
After two victories this year on the US women's developmental tour, Li has already secured a 2023 LPGA berth and hopes to capture her first LPGA victory.
"It has been a whirlwind," Li said. "Didn't expect to be here a couple months ago. I'm just grateful to have this opportunity and whatever happens will happen."
Li, who played in the US Women's Open at age 11, owned a one-stroke lead over compatriot Lexi Thompson and Germany's Caroline Masson, who each shot 65. Read more
