ROGERS — Maria Fassi tapped in a short birdie putt at No. 9 to close out a solid second round at 4 under in the LPGA Northwest Arkansas Championship on Saturday.
Fassi is 8 under heading into today’s final round, eight strokes behind leader Anna Nordqvist. Fellow former University of Arkansas golfer Stacy Lewis is also 8 under after a 3-under 68 on Saturday.
In three previous tournaments at Pinnacle Country Club, Fassi did not make the cut in any. Playing in today’s final round will be a first for the former All-American.
