Jang takes 6-shot lead in Taiwan
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 09 - 10 - 2016

Jang Ha-na shot a 10-under 62 in calmer conditions Saturday at rainy Miramar to take a six-stroke lead in the Fubon LPGA Taiwan Championship.
Chasing her third victory of the year, the 24-year-old South Korean player hit a 30-yard flop shot to a foot in steady rain on the par-5 18th for her 10th birdie of the day.
"Really surprised my play because weather so bad on the back nine," Jang said. "But just be patient every hole. Just simple my thinking. Just thinking hitting the flag and hitting the fairway."
After shooting a 69 in high wind and early rain Friday for a share of the lead with fellow South Korean player Park Hee-young , Jang had her lowest score in her two-year LPGA Tour career and matched the best round in the three years the event has been played at Miramar.
South Korea's Park In-bee set the Miramar mark in 2014 and England's Jodi Ewart Shadoff tied it earlier Saturday.
Jang birdied three of the last four holes to reach 16-under 200. She hit a wedge to 4 feet on 15, made a 30-foot putt on 16 and closed the bogey-free round with the tap-in on 18 after the flop that landed on a ridge and trickled down.
China's Shanshan Feng was second after a 67, and Park Hee-young was another shot back after a 69. Canada's Brooke Henderson and South Africa's Lee-Anne Pace each shot 69 to get to 8 under.
Shadoff was tied for eighth at 6-under. After opening with rounds of 78 and 70, she birdied 10 of the first 15 holes and closed with three pars.
American Alison Lee also rebounded to get to 6-under, shooting 65.
Defending champion Lydia Ko was tied for 16th at 4-under after a 69. The top-ranked New Zealander won by nine strokes last year at 20-under.
Snedeker blows clear
American Brandt Snedeker tamed the wind Saturday to take a three-shot lead on the third day of the European Tour-sanctioned Fiji International at the Natadola Bay Golf Course.
Battling the breeze, the eight-times PGA tour winner fired a two-under 70 to go with his opening rounds of 69 and 65 to pull clear of Australian Anthony Houston who had a third-round 73.
Overnight leader Matthew Giles struggled in the wind with the Australian's three-over 75 pushing him back to third on 208, one stroke ahead of New Zealanders Michael Hendry and Gareth Paddison.
Snedeker had little time to get the feel of the course after flying in late from America's Ryder Cup victory and had a bogey at the second in the opening round.
But he then put together a blemish-free run of 49 holes before tripping up with a bogey on the 16th in the third round and then immediately regained the stroke with a birdie on the next hole.
Hendry also mastered the wind, going four under with a 68 while Paddison, who set a course record 64 Friday, signed for a 69.
They were followed by Australian Ben Eccles, who went two-under 70 to be equal with fellow-Australian Brett Rankin and South Korea's Inhoi Hur who both shot even par to be six-under going into Sunday's final round.
