TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) β Inbee Park shot a 3-under 69 in windy conditions Saturday in the LPGA Taiwan to increase her lead to four strokes.
Playing her first event since regaining the No. 1 spot in the world from Stacy Lewis on Monday, the South Korean newlywed had an eagle, four birdies and three bogeys at Miramar to reach 21-under 195. In calm conditions the first two days, she shot 64-62 to take a three-stroke lead.
Park won the LPGA Championship in August for her second victory of the year and fifth major title. Last year, she swept the first three majors and won six times.
The second-ranked Lewis had a 64, the best round of the day, to move into a tie for second with China’s Shanshan Feng. The American has a tour-high three victories this season.
Feng had a 70.
