Webb holds on to 1-shot Singapore lead
Print Edition
Australian veteran Karrie Webb punched out of a greenside bunker for a brave birdie on her final hole as she stared down her challengers at the HSBC Women’s Champions yesterday.
The 39-year-old veteran displayed nerves of steel as she escaped from the bunker and then drained a five-foot pressure putt in front of the large gallery to maintain a narrow, one-shot lead in Singapore.
Webb, a 40-time winner on the LPGA Tour who is enjoying a resurgence this year, toughed it out over 13 barren holes before her round came alive with three birdies in the last five.
Her 2-under-par 70 gave her an aggregate score of 11-under 205, one ahead of fellow former winner Angela Stanford (69) of the United States, with Spain’s Azahara Munoz (67) and Chinese Taipei’s Teresa Lu (70) a further two shots back.
Suzann Pettersen’s chances of seizing the world No. 1 ranking this week looked slim after two late bogeys left her with a 70, six shots off the lead.
