Winning the same tournament in three editions is the goal of Andrea Lee, who took control of the Portland Classic after “moving day”, in perfect weather conditions at the Columbia Edgewater course. The American (-19) is ahead of her compatriot Alexa Pano by one stroke and the Dutchwoman Dewi Weber by two. Without all the best players in the world, already in Paris to compete in the Olympics at the beginning of next week, the tournament is not completely settled because eleven players stand at five shots.
The Portland Classic is currently the only LPGA tournament won by Andrea Lee, in 2022. Bisser will go through several conditions: “I just have to stick to my game plan, try to make birdies on the par 5s and maybe some of the easier holes, depending on where the flags are, he explained. In this route, you have to stay patient. The putts will eventually fall in my favor. I love this course, that’s for sure. I feel very comfortable here. »
The only Frenchwoman who made the cut, unlike Céline Herbin and Agathe Laisné, Pauline Roussin-Bouchard is now 51st (-7) after a clean Saturday (70 with three birdies and no errors). But in this tournament where the scores are very low, we will do better this Sunday to hope to get Top 30, for example.
