Pak Maintains One-Shot Lead
Despite errant tee shots that led to two late bogeys, Se Ri Pak hung on to a one-shot lead midway through the JAL Big Apple Classic Friday in New Rochelle, N.Y.
Her two-under-par 69 at Wykagyl Country Club gave her a seven-under 135 total, one stroke better than Lorie Kane, Karrie Webb, Sherri Steinhauer and Meg Mallon.
