Ji leads Webb at LPGA Championship

Ji moved to four-under par 212 during a day when rain delayed play at Locust
Hill Country Club for more than two hours.

But Ji managed a very good score and will carry a slight advantage into the
final round, when she will try for her second major title. The 26-year-old won
the U.S. Women’s Open in 2009.

Webb, a seven-time major champion and 2001 LPGA Championship winner, shot a
four-under 68 to move into second place at minus-three.

World No. 3 Stacy Lewis climbed into contention with a two-under 70. The
American has already taken two victories this year to add to her title at last
year’s Kraft Nabisco victory.

Lewis sits at two-under 214 and shares third with world No. 5 Suzann Pettersen
(71), Inbee Park (72) and first-round co-leader Giulia Sergas. The Italian
Sergas fell behind thanks to a 76 on Friday, but rebounded with a third-round
69.

Second-round leader Se Ri Pak, playing for the first time since she dislocated
her shoulder in early April, struggled on Saturday. The Hall of Famer carded a
four-over 76 and tumbled down the leaderboard into a share of 15th, at plus-
one.
