(Reuters) - Park In-bee emerged from a traffic jam to pick up five back nine birdies and leave the field in her rear view vision mirror after the third round at the Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Mexico City on Saturday.
On a day when officials took the extraordinary step of delaying the tee times for the final three groups by nearly an hour after a bus carrying four players to the course was late, Park rolled in a couple of monster putts to card a five-under-par 67 on the Club de Golf Mexico course.
Park posted a 10-under 206 total, three shots clear of fellow South Korean Kim Sei-young (70), the LPGA Rookie of the Year, with compatriot Ryu So-yeon (69) and Spaniard Carlota Ciganda (69) four strokes behind.
