Hashimoto keeps leed in JLPGA
FUJIOKA, Japan (AFP): Overnight leader Aiko Hashimoto played
steady golf to stretch her lead to three strokes after the third
round in the US$460,000 Twin Lakes Open women's golf tournament
yesterday.
The Japanese shot three birdies and no bogies to card 69 for a
three-round total of seven under par 209 on the 6,254-yard Twin
Lakes Country Club course, ahead of her nearest rival Tseng Hsiu-
feng of Taiwan at 212.
Shin Sora of South Korea, who captured her first title on the
Japan tour three weeks ago, carded a 69 for a third place tie
with Japan's Kaori Harada to trail Hashimoto by four strokes at
213.
