Lindy Duncan Plays It Steady and Safe in Cold Wind and Leads the LPGA
Duncan’s bogey-free 69 left her one shot ahead after rivals stumbled on the closing holes.
On Saturday, Lindy Duncan carded a bogey-free 1-under 69 to seize a one-shot lead at The Annika in Belleair, Florida, positioning herself to pursue her first LPGA Tour victory.
Making her 222nd career start on the LPGA Tour without a victory, Duncan aims to qualify for next week's CME Group Tour Championship, where the winner receives $2 million.
Yuri Yoshida sits two shots back after a 67, while Haeran Ryo surged with a Saturday-low 65 to trail by four shots, keeping the tournament wide open.
Nelly Korda carded a 71 to fall six shots behind, while Carlota Ciganda lost ground after three-putting five times, including on the 18th hole.
Duncan faces one final day of dry weather and firm greens at Pelican Golf Club, where the 18th hole continues to challenge the field by playing into the wind.
