Looks to be quite comfortable looks to be enjoying herself out here as well in these tough conditions W she’s got it and Megan K catches her good friend Nelly cter at the top of the leaderboard Megan who broke through to win for the first time in her career last

Year she does but she head it is back uphill shouldn’t be too much of an issue here and I think what what Nelly can do now is just really dra from the experience of yesterday basically the same thing happened Nell’s cooperated a bit but uh it’s mostly been about Megan three under

Through seven up ahead Lexi Thompson tough start for her today a pleasant day temperature-wise but difficult because of the wind’s completely different direction especially here on nine Tom straight into the wind today yeah you can see some of that dust from the uh coina cop pass being blown across in front of Lexi

Thompson there piao has 20 LPGA titles her next one will put her in the Hall of Fame could it be today her third at eight seeing some sweaters today Morgan Karen mentioned the wind now out of the North and uh you thought that was just going to roll straight over into

Today that’s her fourth shot at the par five [Applause] how far back will it come back oh what a beauty what a shot that could save right now the wind feels like it’s pushing this going to push this ball to the right she played it as

Such and that’ll be a putt to take the lead alone yeah nicely done and that will leave a puck for Lydia Co to get the 10 on the par presented by Progressive insurance for M saigo here at the 15th rookie from Japan had a very good season on the

Japanese tour last year with five wins and this one looks pretty good at the 15th is it going to hang there the two players are very different Megan obviously having a good time and Nelly looks like she’s got a little bit of weight on her shoulders right now this one’s going to break

Left oh much needed Nelly that was huge yeah know that look was all determination and I expected Megan to make that she looks so solid well they say familiarity breeds contempt and Lexi Thompson with her second this whole playing completely differently today straight down winds a rookie from Florida had that terrific round

Yesterday round in 64 and good save there and she’s hanging around you never quite know what could happen on the back nine kind of manufacturing her way through the wind coming up with shots being creative there’s a very nice shot into the green here at 15 for saigo but she doesn’t convert the

Birdie tough hole today Tom only one birdie from Cheyenne Knight so far today which is a points based system and it’s one point for a victory she needs just one point to get to the magic number of 27 points she got one last week for winning the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of

Champions the bigger story is the wind is playing into the wind so at least 15 yards of wind up there I would say right now she is incredibly good that manufacturing some shots keeping it low that one just got up into the window here it’s very easy to run through on the

Left as we saw foodways do it’s a good looking shot here forell Club TWR mean she likes it yeah and she should good shot what have you seen in Nelly’s body language uh throughout the day and of course over the last say 20 minutes or so well I

Think that she’s just got uh especially that part in the last I mean she just had a look of determination about her like there was a I’m just going to get this done kind of look as opposed to a resignation of like a war is me it

Wasn’t that at all it was I’m going to get the job done could make you putt tentatively though from here on out coming back the other way okay well we didn’t see that coming there’s been some surprises up ahead Lydia Co this for birdie to get within two

Lydia Co within one point of the LPGA Hall of Fame and here she is in contention again just a moment ago at the 10th Nelly c a second this is from 128 and it’s a little bit on the left side palm tree is going to cause her no

Issues 124 to the hole this is going to be a wedge good angle too to that right flag both Megan and Nell have played this back nine very well so far this week so off we go to the 11th and Lydia Co on the te you can see that flag there

Tucked over on the right the officials moving the te forward to allow players to be aggressive almost doesn’t even look like it’s on the green there Tom and I think as the ball approaches the hole it looks like there’s a little up slope there so to make sure you give

It enough speed to get to the hole [Applause] oh now she came up just a smid short at nine that was a great rooll Morgan it looked like it looked like good speed which is what we saw her struggle with a little bit yesterday not to be over at 12 shiu Lynn

Trying to creep a little closer and she does tied for fifth now that amount of points sa this week when we said second or third place finish is basically going to guarantee your card for next year Hasting Kim tied for fourth so you could one spot closer

To the Hall of Fame then she felt being two away felt like being two away might have been just too far but now feels like one is very much in her grasp great two there yes it was almost as if she said well a championing earlier is that

Should the unthinkable happen and Lydia c not win another point one of the greatest players of the modern era wouldn’t be in the Hall of Fame and Lara Davies how can you have an LPGA Hall of Fame without Lara Davies well my point is she wouldn’t have ear enough points so she wouldn’t

Be in that’s what I’m saying right well Megan Kang missed the a little longer than this on the ninth this is for power at 11 yeah just better speed here no [Applause] problem now trying to win for the second time in eight starts it’s how it goes

Sometimes isn’t it Austin Kim second at the 12 big hitter Morgan she’s got tremendous power and at 13 this is shiu ly level PA of the day not out of it yet forb back needs to sneak up and get that Victory maybe that will be how she wins

There’s been so many chances for shiu lin just a moment ago this is Lindy Duncan for a birdie that is just incredible across the green maybe the longest part of the week hold Austin Kim at the 12 huge Drive unable to take advantage of three putt

Bogey she’s got 124 Bulls just a hair blow her feet wind from the right trying to control this one you can see that abbreviated follow through really well done how about the stance here for Megan Kang at 12 Ball’s a little bit above her

Feet she did take drive off the T hit it over the bunker only had 68 y left oh look out made a 7c hole birdie and then beat the great Jin young Co in the playoff off at 14 shiu Lyn her second doesn’t matter where the wind

Direction is 14 is just tough isn’t it we seen a ho out from a bunker this week already she did that on the 17th yesterday this one’s down wi going to be tough to stop it good call it’s just really heavy sand here in this these bunkers so it’s tough to get enough

Spin yeah I feel like her putting stroke looked a little bit better earlier today like that putt on the eighth was a huge save this another big one it is and Nelly escapes with a four the put at eight that you referenced is after having to take an

Unplayable just way choked up on this trying to control something hold it up against the right to left wind oh kind of did hang out there and she was fortunate that didn’t catch the bunker going to hit her on her left shoulder as well downhill for

Megan well a chance for a two- shot swing instead it’s going to be Nelly still in front with six holes to play now food away to get within two you wouldn’t have thought all three would walk away with the four would you it’s a crazy game at the 13th Lydia

Co is for par Lydia bidding for that LPGA Hall of Fame if she were to win today that is not going to make it any easier she will drop back to 10 underpath only 34 players have made it to the this is Megan K also from the UPS

Slope 168 see I trying to keep this down little bit wind just didn’t move that at all the wind even though it feels like it’s Crossing from the right kind of almost Works back into as well so it’s it depends on the the wind direction oh that was

Class a player that is familiar with windy conditions the Scott Jimma dror at the 16th oh yeah what a frame that one what a game hits the Green in regulation three putts for bogie at 13 has to pitch out at 14 saves are par Meg’s got 159 A really smart play there

Are we down to three players Tom realistically a chance to win looks that way this is Lydia Co one of them she shot at 15 aggressive if you get it all the way back there which she has done that is uh going to work out well there’s a slope

Behind this hole which would just take it off the green need something miraculous Deli had a way of enduring she made a qu on the 71st hole at Pelican couple of years ago came back I just got to aim Center the green let the Wind Drift this a little bit to the left

Solid shots are much less affected by the wind so solid contact very important here the club just got stuck in that UPS slope I look like she took it back very much inside you got to try and pick yourself up after that wow she is going to make a

Double I think Tom’s your point about about this golf course it feels like it’s a completely different course today with the wind changing direction as it has it’s a completely different Nelly Corder that we’re seeing right now what has happened here therea for bogy okay so she’ll go back to nine under

Kang still has a par putt wind just dying down for her and it has not well that’s moved a ton and it’s surprised everyone there the P needs are talking to now and we are going to have all three of these players tied at nine under par

See what Lydia can do shot to the par five working it in left to right trying to trundle one in there and this is going to work out very well indeed could it be what a time to hit a shot like that that’s incredible that’s

A Hall of Fame shot there from Lydia Co balls just a Smo above her feet yeah I like this better for her Karen without hitting a big draw she doesn’t have as much curve in her ball fight won’t ride the wind similar place to where we saw

Lydia and how about that that was vintage Lydia go think about the shot that she hit in the grant Thorton on 17 to set up a victory there with her and her partner Jason day what she obviously accomplished last week updated Lydia score so everyone around this screen knows what Lydia has done

Look a look that’s for par coming up have been gifts to the field she lipped out a long birdie put at 13 14 ran it well past missed the comebacker 15 came up short almost will this one right in the hole and Incredibly Lydia Co leads by

Three got plenty of green to get this one to land on the front and get it to release back to the hole and this is a fading looks pretty [Applause] good right hang on not over yet oh what a shot what a Time one more solid swing

Here it’s going to leave a bit of a tricky pot up and over the ridge that dissects this 18th green but out of that out of that lie there a solid swing well she was short of the Green in two and then was going for the chip I

Mean she had to give it a go and uh it ended up going too much and rolled over the back of the green hold the ceremony we’re not done yet Nelly Corda for the second straight day e Eagle 17 and she is still in

It well she set the bar in so many ways for her generation into that wind right hole location looking for a little Fade to move it back there Nelly would like to see something positive happen here leave trying to keep it down a little bit as well Karen yeah you you got to

Really buy into it this was not a low bullet this has got some air underneath it oh Nelly that’s for the win incredible we’re not done yet I mean the greatest deep even when it looks like everything is going the other direction this one’s gone to 11 Lydia

And Nelly are going to play off at Bradington Country Club both came out here as teenagers and Megan staying with Nelly this week and now she’ll be cheering on Nelly and Lydia in the playoff
