Pederson uses a fast start to a 65 and a 2-shot lead on LPGA Tour

Emily Kristine Pederson had six birdies in her opening 10 holes and held on for a 5-under 65 on Friday, giving her a two-shot lead in The Annika and moving the Danish player two rounds closer to earning a spot in the LPGA Tour season finale. Pederson dropped three shots over her final seven holes at Pelican Golf Club as the wind picked up late in the morning. “It got a little bit more windy out there and my back nine was not as I hoped,” Pederson said.
