Final round underway
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif.--In order to accommodate television coverage on the East Coast, final-round play at the Kraft Nabisco Championship got off to an early start on Sunday. Players went off both the first and 10th tees in threesomes starting at 7:39 a.m. local time, with the leaders teeing off at 9:40. That set up the unusual circumstance in which the two players currently in 70th and 71st place respectively, Meaghan Francella and Sung Ah Yim, went off the 10th tee at the same time as the leaders.
Fifty-four hole leader Lorena Ochoa birdied the first hole and currently leads by two shoots at 7-under par over South Korea's Seon Hwa Lee and Hee-Won Han, who both reside at 5 under. Making an early charge up the leaderboard is Norway's Suzann Pettersen, who is 2 under through four holes and 4 under overall, just three shots back of Ochoa. Pettersen, who barely slipped under the cut line at +5, shot the low round of the tournament on Saturday with a 7-under 65.
CBS will broadcast the final round live from 3-6 p.m. EST.
