A day after hitting all 18 greens in regulation, Pauline Roussin-Bouchard had a goal of doing the same Saturday in the third round of LPGA Q-Series in Mobile, Alabama. Through nine holes on Magnolia Grove’s Falls Course, she was on track.
“And then on 10, I put my ball in the bunker on the right side with my driver, and so it was obviously almost unplayable. … I had a good bogey,” said Roussin-Bouchard, who holed a 15-footer for her only bogey in an otherwise blemish-free round of 5-under 66.
The Frenchwoman, who turned pro this past summer after two All-American seasons at South Carolina, closed her round with consecutive birdies, and at 12 under, she leads Hye-Jin Choi by a shot entering Sunday’s fourth round, which will mark the halfway point of the 108-hole qualifying event.
