Jennifer Kupcho moved into position to make history Sunday at the Marathon Classic.
With a 5-under-par 66 Saturday, Kupcho is making a run at becoming just the sixth different amateur to win an LPGA title since the women’s tour was formed in 1950.
Kupcho, 21, won some hearts beyond Wake Forest University taking the NCAA individual title as a junior two months ago, showing resilience and toughness a year after she squandered a four-shot lead over the final five holes in the final round of that championship.
A 66 on Saturday at Highland Meadows leaves Kupcho just three shots behind the leader, Brooke Henderson.
