JULIETA GRANADA WILL TAKE A ONE-STROKE LEAD INTO THE FINAL ROUND OF THE CME GROUP TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP Granada, who sits at 9-under for the event, will be looking to hold off a strong back of competitors including Morgan Pressel and Carlota Ciganda who sit a stroke back. “I played pretty well today; super consistent,” Granada said. “I hit a lot of fairways and I hit a lot of greens. I made some good putts out there. So I’m looking forward to tomorrow, see what tomorrow brings.” Granada got off to a strong start with a birdie at the par-5 first and added another at the eighth to make the turn in 2-under. The back nine was more up-and-down for Granada who tallied two birdies and two bogeys to wrap up her round of 70. “I’m aware of what’s going on,” Granada said. “I like to know where I stand. Like I said before, I just have to keep playing my game and trust my game, that it’s good enough to win out here.” The Race to the CME Globe will also come down to Sunday as Lydia Ko, So Yeon Ryu, Michelle Wie and Stacy Lewis all find themselves within six strokes of the lead and in excellent position to take home the inaugural title. As it stands, Stacy Lewis is in first place but is closely followed by Lydia Ko. Lewis is currently sitting in a tie for 10th while Ko is tied for fifth. “I’ve been thinking about all these awards and the Race to the Globe that kind of stuff for three, four weeks now. Unfortunately that’s not going to go away overnight,” Lewis said. “I’ve just got to go hit some greens tomorrow. That’s all I’m going to try to do. If the putts go in, great; if they don’t, I’m going to take ‑‑ any par on this then golf course good.” “I’m not going to really think about it,” Ko said. “I’m just going to go out there tomorrow like did today and not think about the big money that comes at the end of tomorrow.”
