24th Scott Robertson Memorial Isabelle Lendl is doing her best
to defend her 15-18 year old title.
She fired a 69 today that included the
nifty bunker save on 18. She is at 3
under and leads by 2 over three other
golfers.

That group includes Esther
Choe, the Top Ranked junior girl in the
country. Choe could have trimmed her
deficit to a single shot if not for the
lip service on 18.

On the Boy's 15 to 18 side of
things there are just 2 players under
par. John Popeck shot a second round
68 and is in second place all alone.

The player he is chasing is John
Hahn who shot a 5 under round of 66 to
get to 6 under for the tournament. He
carries a 4 stroke lead into the final
round.
