Man, this weekend at The Annika is setting up to be absolutely bonkers! We’ve got a seriously crowded leaderboard heading into Round 3 down in Belleair, Florida. It’s anyone’s game right now, and you know what that means for Saturday.
Three-Way Tie For The Top Spot
After two rounds, we’ve got a trio of players all knotted up at 12 under par. Carlota Ciganda, Lindy Duncan, and Hye-Jin Choi are sharing that top spot, and they’ve all played some killer golf to get there. But don’t sleep, because this thing is far from over. Right below those leaders, there are five more players lurking within just three strokes. Anyone of them could make a run. And then you have World No. 1 and three-time Annika winner Nelly Korda, who’s only four shots back. You know she’s got that championship fire, and she’s absolutely going to be pushing hard to make up that ground. This is golf at its finest, folks.
The Stakes Are Sky-High For The Penultimate Tournament
It’s not just bragging rights on the line here. These players are all fighting for a piece of a massive $3.25 million purse. Plus, there are 500 CME Global points up for grabs, and considering this is the LPGA’s second-to-last tournament of the entire season, every single point matters. This isn’t just another weekend round, it’s crunch time.
You can catch all the action live for the third round starting Saturday at 2 p.m. EST. Tune into CNBC and Golf Channel mobile to watch the drama unfold. Get ready, because it’s going to be a wild one.
