PITTSBURGH — Japan’s Kaori Yamamoto shot a 1-over 72 on Saturday to take a five-shot lead in the final round of the US Senior Women’s Open.
Yamamoto had a 7-under 206 total at Fox Chapel. The afternoon game was delayed for three hours due to rain.
Annika Sorenstam (71) was tied for second with fellow Hall of Famer Juli Inkster (71), Leta Lindley (71) and Mikino Kubo (70). Sorenstam won the 2021 event.
JoAnne Carner missed the end of the weekend after matching her age Thursday with an opening 85 and finishing Friday with an 80. The Hall of Famer shot his age or under eight times in a tournament played for the first time in 2018, seven of his last eight rounds.
