Wilshire LPGA Tournament: Tight Leaderboard Sets the Stage for a Hollywood Ending

In the heart of Hollywood, California, the JM Eagle LA Championship presented by Plastpro is gearing up for an exciting final round with two Australian golfers, Hannah Green and Grace Kim, tied for the lead at 7 under par. The duo holds a one-shot advantage over Jin Hee Im, who set a new 18-hole scoring record with an impressive 8-under 63 on Saturday.

Green, the defending champion, had a rollercoaster round on Saturday, shooting a 1-under 70 to maintain her position at the top. Despite a shaky front nine with three bogeys, Green rallied on the back nine with an eagle on the 13th hole and a clutch par save on the 18th.

Meanwhile, Kim, who led by four shots after Friday, struggled on Saturday with a 5-over 76, falling back into a tie for the lead. However, Kim remains confident in her ability to bounce back in the final round and is focused on saving birdies for Sunday.

The two friends turned competitors will be paired together in the final group on Sunday, adding an extra layer of excitement to the tournament. Green, drawing on her winning experience at Wilshire Country Club, is determined to stay focused on each hole and not get ahead of herself as she aims for back-to-back victories.

With a talented field of contenders close behind, including Im, Maja Stark, and Esther Henseleit, the stage is set for a thrilling conclusion to the JM Eagle LA Championship. As the drama unfolds against the iconic backdrop of the Hollywood sign, golf fans can expect a nail-biting finish to determine the next champion.
