Inbee Park will start Sunday with a two shot lead at -14.
The South Korean will be looking for her first victory in almost four years when the first-ever
Manulife Financial LPGA Classic wraps up at Grey Silo in Waterloo.
“I played par 5’s really good today…that helped me a lot.” said Park after finishing her third round on Saturday.
Park won the 2008 U.S. Women’s Open.
Texan Brittany Lang had a strong finish and goes into championship Sunday -12. Lang put up an eagle on 18 and birdies at 16 and 17.
“I am going to focus to get off to a hot start…If you shoot even one or two under on that front side you can really shoot a low number on the back and get some good momentum.” said Lang, who is still searching for her first LPGA Tour win.
Hee Kyung Seo is also -12 and Anna Nordqvist is -10.
Park, Lang and Seo will be the last group to tee off at 12:45pm on Sunday.
Quebec’s Maude-Aimee Leblanc is the top Canadian at -4, who says overall it was a good round.
“A lot of birdie opportunities out there…have to take advantage.” said Leblanc.

-Ai Miyazato of Japan, +7 (6th in Rolex Rankings)
-Spain’s Azahara Munoz who finished +2 (18th in Rolex Rankings)
-American Gerina Piller, +3 (138th in Rolex Rankings)
