PHOENIX -- There were too many players close behind and too many low scores to
be had for Lydia Ko to feel at ease at the top of the JTBC Founders Cup
leaderboard.
Christen Press Soccer Jersey . That wont
change the 16-year-old New Zealanders approach Sunday at Desert Mountain. "Im
just going to play my own game," Ko said. "If somebody goes crazy low like
shooting 10 under, 9 under or whatever, its not something I can control." She
shot a 5-under 67 on Saturday to reach 16-under 200. Jessica Korda and Mirim Lee
were a stroke back, and a dozen players were within four shots on a course that
gave up a 63 and two 64s in the third round. "Obviously, theres going to be some
nerves," Ko said. "Of course, thats always there." Ko was 3 under on Wildfires
Arnold Palmer-designed front nine Saturday after playing it in even par the
first two days. She eagled the par-5 fifth after hitting a 5-wood to 7 feet. "I
played much better on the front nine, so I was really happy with that," Ko said.
Ko tapped in for birdie on the par-5 15th after missing an eagle try and took
the outright lead with a 10-footer on the par-3 17th. Shes 13 under on the Nick
Faldo-designed back nine, where the tournament will be decided. "You never know
until the last hole, last putt," Ko said. Ko won the Canadian Womens Open as an
amateur the last two years and took the Swinging Skirts World Ladies Masters in
December in Thailand in her second start as a professional. She has five
victories in pro events, also winning in Australia and New Zealand. "It would be
pretty special and especially at the Founders Cup," Ko said. "Without the
founders, there would be no LPGA. This has been my dream tour." Ko will play
alongside Korda. They also played together in the first two rounds. "Its always
cool to play with her," Ko said. Korda, the winner in the season-opening event
in the Bahamas, birdied the final two holes for her second bogey-free 66 in a
row. "I look at her like a little sister," Korda said about Ko. "Shes a great
girl." Lee, the leader after each of the first two rounds, bogeyed the 15th and
shot 70. Shes making her third start on the LPGA Tour after winning three times
on the Korean LPGA. Sun Young Yoo, the 2012 Kraft Nabisco winner, was 14 under
after a 68. Michelle Wie had a 67 to join Azahara Munoz, So Yeon Ryu, Amy Yang
and Chella Choi at 13 under. "I couldnt get anything to the hole, but scrambled
and shot 5 under," Wie said. "Im really happy to be in the position that I am.
Im really excited for tomorrow." Munoz, coming off a playoff loss to Paula
Creamer three weeks ago in Singapore, shot 64 -- one of 19 rounds of 67 or
better in the 74-player field Saturday. Yang had a 67, and Ryu and Choi shot 68.
Choi holed out from the fairway for eagle on the par-4 18th. Creamer had a 64 to
match defending champion Stacy Lewis and Morgan Pressel at 12 under. Creamer
played the first 15 holes in 9 under, then bogeyed the short par-4 16 after
driving into a bunker. "I have hit the ball great this week," Creamer said. "Ive
given myself so many opportunities, its kind of ridiculous. I just didnt putt my
best the last two days." In Singapore, she holed a 75-foot eagle putt to beat
Munoz on the second extra hole. Lewis and Pressel, 9 under after 11 holes
Thursday, shot 67. "Pretty disappointing," Lewis said. "I left a ton of shots
out there today. The greens were a bit softer and I just didnt quite adjust to
it. Speed was a little bit different." Scottsdale resident Cristie Kerr matched
the course record with a 63 to reach 11 under, finishing an hour before the
leaders teed off. "I saw Cristie shot 9 under and Paula was 8 and I was like,
Wow! Thats serious scoring," Korda said. "But the greens are a little bit
bouncier in the afternoon and you can kind of see where people have walked."
Kerr, playing a new set of irons this week, had an eagle, eight birdies and a
three-putt bogey. "Im glad that I had the courage to switch because Im just so
much more consistent now," Kerr said. DIVOTS: The third-round scoring average
was 69.421. ... Top-ranked Inbee Park was 11 under after a 70. ... Ai Miyazato
set the course record in the first round last year. ... Fifty-year-old Laura
Davies shot 66 to reach 11 under.
