Michelle Three Back at Sybase Classic

Filed under: PGA / LPGA Tour — Joey @ 9:13 pm

Michelle shot a 68 in the third round of the Sybase Classic that should have been at least a 66 had a few short putts dropped.

Good luck tomorrow!

Suzann Pettersen, Ji Young Oh lead LPGA Tour’s Sybase Classic.

Suzann Pettersen and Ji Young Oh seemingly won't have to worry about three-time defending champion Lorena Ochoa making a run at them in the final round of the Sybase Classic.

There are plenty of other challengers though, including recent major winner Brittany Lincicome, eight-time LPGA winner Paula Creamer and probably the most famous non-winner on tour, 19-year-old Michelle Wie.

Pettersen of Norway and Oh of South Korea shot 3-under 69s Saturday, taking a one-stroke lead over Lincicome after three rounds of the $2 million event that seemingly will have a new champion with Ochoa 10 shots back heading into the final round on the Upper Montclair Country Club.

The biggest story would be Wie winning her first title since the USGA Women's Amateur Public Links Championship in 2003. She turned pro in 2006 but that first win has eluded her.
