Lindy Duncan Nears First LPGA Win as Lottie Woad Stays in Contention

Lindy Duncan played a bogey-free round on Saturday at The Annika, making 17 pars, and rose to the lead by one stroke. Playing in cold, windy conditions at Pelican Golf Club, the 35-year-old golfer finished with a 69, four under par. Duncan joined the LPGA Tour in 2014 and has yet to win a tournament in her 222nd career start. She is 13 under overall, at 197 strokes.

Hye-Jin Choi, who had been co-leader the previous day, missed the 18th green to the left, made a bogey and finished with a 70, one stroke back. England's Lottie Woad was tied at seven under with six other players, including world No. 1 Nelly Korda. Woad made two birdies and two bogeys to finish her round at par.

Charley Hull shot 76 in a tough round that included six bogeys, dropping to 43rd at six under. Yuri Yoshida, who earned her first LPGA title in Asian tournaments, played in the same group as Korda. She shot 67 and moved to within two strokes of the leader. South Korea's Ina Yoon shot 69 and is three strokes back.

Carlota Ciganda three-putted five times. On the firm greens, Ciganda finished the 54 holes tied for the lead. Haeran Ryo, with 65, the best score of Saturday, closed to within four strokes after starting eight behind.
