PATTAYA (Thailand), October 26 (AP): Suzann Pettersen holed a 115-yard wedge shot for eagle on the par-4 13th and birdied the 18th to maintain a two-stroke lead Friday in the Honda LPGA Thailand, her fourth straight tour round atop the leaderboard.
Chasing her third victory in four weeks, Pettersen shot a 4-under 68 for an 11-under 133 total after two warm days at Siam Country Club.
"It's another great day on the golf course," Pettersen said. "Not too windy. Comfortable temperature. Not so steamy. I'm just trying to play each hole like what they give me. A lot of good shots today and a lot of good putts."
Canadian Alena Sharp, winless in two full seasons on the tour, matched Pettersen's 68 to hold the second spot. Laura Davies was third, four strokes back at 7 under. She eagled the 18th for a 66, matching the best round of the day on the Pattaya Old Course.
Paula Creamer shot a 66, too, birdieing three of the last five holes to join Joo Mi Kim (67) and Angela Park (70) at 6 under.
