CANADIAN PACIFIC OPEN
COQUITLAM, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Two-time champion Lydia Ko bogeyed the final hole for a 3-under 69 to fall into a tie with Candie Kung for the third-round lead in the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open. After going 46 holes without a bogey, the 18-year-old Ko hit her approach on the par-4 18th near the face of the right-side bunker, blasted out to 10 feet and missed the putt. Kung, the second-round leader after tying the Vancouver Golf Club record with a 64, had a 71 to match Ko at 12-under 204. Alison Lee was third at 10 under after a 66. Ko won in 2012 at Vancouver Golf Club at 15 years, 4 months to become the LPGA Tour’s youngest winner and fifth amateur champion. The New Zealander successfully defended her title in 2013 as an amateur in Edmonton, Alberta. She has two victories this year. The 34-year-old Kung, from Taiwan, won the last of her LPGA Tour titles in 2008.
BOEING CLASSIC
SNOQUALMIE, WASH.
Billy Andrade made a 10-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th hole for a 7-under 65 and a three-stroke lead after the second round of the Champions Tour’s Boeing Classic. The 51-year-old Andrade had eight birdies — three in a row on Nos. 13-15 — and a bogey to reach 10-under 134 at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge. The four-time PGA Tour winner teamed with Joe Duran to win the Legends of Golf in April for his first Champions Tour title. Bernhard Langer and Jeff Freeman were tied for second. Langer, the 2010 winner, had a 66, and Freeman shot 68. Langer, who turns 58 Thursday, birdied five of the final six holes. The German star is trying to tie Gil Morgan for third place on the tour’s career victory list with 25. Fred Couples, from Seattle, was tied for fourth at 4 under after a 71.
