Front-nine stumbles cost Pressel

Morgan Pressel couldn’t overcome a front-nine stumble Sunday at the ShopRite Classic.

Pressel took the lead into the final round at the Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club, but she was playing chaser after a bogey at the sixth hole and a double bogey at the seventh. She closed with a 2-over-par 73 and tied for third, three shots behind the winner, Anna Nordqvist.

After struggling much of last year and early this year, Pressel overhauled her swing this spring and has now finished third or better in three of her last six starts.
