US EditionIlhee Lee Takes 1-Shot Lead over 4 Players Into the Final Round of the ShopRite LPGA Classic
- Ilhee Lee, age 36 from South Korea, carded a 3-under 68 on Saturday at Seaview’s Bay Course in New Jersey to move ahead by a single shot over a group of four competitors as the tournament heads into its final round.
- Following Lee’s rain-delayed 3-under 68 on Saturday, she held a one-shot lead after previously sharing the opening-round lead with Elizabeth Szokol, who had an impressive start with five consecutive birdies on Friday afternoon.
- Key challengers trailing Lee by one stroke included Szokol, Jennifer Kupcho, Mao Saigo, and Ayaka Furue, who each shot rounds between 64 and 69 with notable birdie counts on the 54-hole event.
- Lee began her round by making six birdies within her initial ten holes and ended strong with three straight birdies despite a bogey, finishing at 11-under 131 overall. Meanwhile, Szokol managed a 69, which she regarded as "pretty good," even after a double-bogey setback.
- Lee's one-shot lead suggests a competitive final round is ahead with only two 54-hole tournaments remaining on the LPGA Tour schedule, where several international players remain in contention.
