Rookie Miranda Wang leads the FM Championship with Rose Zhang tied up in a second

Norton, Mass.

Wang took only 24 times on a course softened rain, and maybe it helped them just to play 18 holes. Some of the challengers of the Chinese player faced much longer because of the storms that were so interrupted by playing the day before.

She hollels a 8-foot bird in 18. Pull-free recovery cap that gave her triple lead over Sei Young Kim (71) and Rose Zhang (67).

Wang was 18-below 198.

“Here all the players want to be so that it is definitely especially entering the final circle that is the only leader,” Wang said. “That’s what we’re trying to do every week, so I’m just happy I did well my job. I hope I keep doing what I did today.”

Kim had a great scoring on both Nine on Saturday morning when she played 14 holes to end her second round in 65 to build triple leadership. This afternoon wasn’t that smooth, and her lead disappeared in three holes.

She didn’t get out of the bunker of 5 years, which led to Bogey who felt much worse. She was then failed to descend to Parent on a couple-3-third.

Wang retreated with birds on the sixth and showed what kind of fierce day was in the next hole. She joined her in the seventh of 5 years on the right side and from the wood. She pulled a third of a long blow about 60 feet, then made it for a bird.

Wang also made a 40-foot bird in 14. hole and ended the day of 27 consecutive holes without Bogee.

The key to the week for the former Duke player was her back nine on Thursday. Wang had eight birds (along with Bogey) for 29 on the front nine, an indication that she felt comfortable on the greenery.

“Ever since I was really hot on my first round, I was getting my speed and line a great deal of confidence,” she said that more. “I know that I’m doing well on that greenery, so when I put that I am more confident and more comfortable.”

Zhang, who won two years ago in the first LPGA as a past two years, did not have the first 10 against the full fields of all a year as she tried to share the time between playing and the final relationship in Stanford.

“It’s been a long time since I’m in claim, so I’m very, very grateful,” Zhang said.

She had to play 32 holes – 14 AM when she was 64, and then she had four birds in five in the afternoon as she tried to overcome the pace with Wang.

“I feel like I’m going to work today and drink water and electrolytes,” Zhang said. “It’s been a long time since I played 32 holes. I should have gotten a little focused. But I felt like I took a lot of positive knowledge that I could play a consistent golf and keep being better.”

Jedo Thitikul (65) and Andrea Lee (66) were four shots behind him.

Nelly Korda is for her first LPGA victory this year likely to have to wait. It was in the range when she left the course Friday night, but she could only manage 70 in the morning and 70 in the afternoon. Korda failed the bird of any of the four pairs. 5 years.

There was nine shots behind him.

Wang, LPGA Rookie, will try to expand the remarkable string on the LPGA tour this year. There were 22 tournaments, and they all beat different players.
