SUN CITY, South Africa: Dorothy Delasin and Jennifer Rosales of the
Philippines made up six shots in the last three holes of the
foursomes Saturday to draw level with overnight leaders Korea here
at the Women’s World Cup of golf.
The two nations share the lead on 11-under-par
133 going into Sunday’s final round, with Taiwan’s Amy Hung and
Yun Jye Wei lying third on 135.
Koreans Ji-Yai Shin and Eun Hee Ji were three
under par for their round Saturday and 14 under for the
tournament—following their fabulous 61 on day one in the opening
bestball round—when they arrived on the 17th tee at Gary Player
Country Club.
But, under the pressure-packed alternate shot
format, Ji drove into a water hazard, Shin tried without success to
hit the ball out of a muddy lie and the pair was then forced to take
a penalty drop.
Their fourth shot ended up just short of the
green and they three-putted from there for a very unwelcome
triple-bogey seven at this par-four.
Korea played the last three holes in 15 shots
while Delasin and Rosales, who finished the round with three
straight birdies, took just nine.
Delasin and Rosales said the key to their
day’s best score of 68 was staying out of the fearsome rough that
lines the fairways at this bushveld course.
