DALY CITY, Calif. – Gerina Piller is the great American hope Sunday at the Swinging Skirts Classic.
Five shots behind Haru Nomura, Piller faces steep odds, but she is the only U.S. player with a legitimate chance going into the final round, the only American among the top nine at Lake Merced Golf Club.
It’s been a tough start to the year for the United States in women’s golf.
In nine events this season, Lexi Thompson is the only American to win an LPGA title.
American Katie Burnett made a strong run at winning the Lotte Championship last Sunday in Hawaii, but she couldn’t hold off Australian Minjee Lee’s back-nine charge.
