Wendy’s Championship: International leaderboard
The greens at Tartan Fields are pretty pure, and are apparently proving to be easy to read. The course has given up more birdies than Floyd Landis has given excuses for his positive drug test.
As co-leader Soo Yun Kang said after her round of 66, “I like the greens. I can read them. It’s almost perfect. When I hit it straight, I can make every putt.” Fellow South Korean Jee Young Lee shot a 65, to remain at a tie for the lead at -11. Jee Young is unique in switching between two different putting grips on the course based on what’s working. Apparently, it’s working.
The leaderboard is jammed packed at the top, with a distinctly international flavor. Just look at the leaders:
