Incheon, South Korea - A day after falling behind fellow American, Brittany Lang, Alison Lee shot a four under par, 68 third round to regain control of the lead at the LPGA KEB Hana Bank Championship. The UCLA Student is looking for her first LPGA Tour victory.
Heading into round three, Lee only trailed Lang by a stroke after leading the field on day one. After a bogey on the 3rd hole, Alison put together four straight birdies to move to 12 under on the leaderboards. On the back five, Lee hit another birdie on 15 and finished with a birdie on 18 to take the lead going into Round four.
Lang struggled on the fourth and 12th with bogies on both holes. She sunk a birdie on the 14th to keep pace with Lee but finished out the round with her highest total on the weekend, 72. Lee is on pace to move up in the Race to CME Globe championship rankings from 17th to 13th if the results hold.
Lee, along with this being her first victory could also move up the chase from 65th to 33rd. She has been the best player on the course this week by far. The 21 year old would join a list of young players to win this year along with Lydia Ko and Ariya Jutanugarn.
