Australians Grace Kim and Hannah Green tied for lead in LPGA Tour’s JM Eagle LA Championship
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Grace Kim stumbled to a 5-over 76 on Saturday in the LPGA Tour’s JM Eagle LA Championship — and still held onto a share of the lead.
It was that kind of a day at Wilshire Country Club, the tree-lined layout made difficult by bumpy poa annua greens and tricky wind conditions.
“It’s tough for everyone today,” Kim said. “It was just one of those days. It’s just golf.”
Four strokes ahead entering the day after rounds of 64 and 66, Kim was tied with fellow Australian Hannah Green, the defending champion who saved par with a 12-footer on the par-3 18th for a 70. They were at 7-under 206.
“The putt that I made on 18 almost felt like I birdie,” Green said.
Maja Stark, playing alongside Kim in the final group, bogeyed the 18th for a 73.
“You know that you can’t take every missed putt too personally because that’s going to happen for everyone,” Stark said.
