Bell National
Rain battled can best describe the shortened round of the Bell National leader who heads into tomorrow’s final five holes with a two-shot victory. Lydia Swan (North East, PA 2022), the winner of the Flat Creek Girls Classic, is in a prime position to take home the weather-shortened Palmetto Classic after a twelve hole score of 54 (+2). The toughest stretch of holes awaits the entire field, including the picturesque par-three seventeenth. Ella Perna is perched at the two spot with a current score of 56 (+4).
1. Lydia Swan (North East, PA 2022) / 54 (+2) [thru 13]
2. Ella Perna (Durham, NC 2022) / 56 (+4) [thru 13]
3. Megan Adelman (Bryn Mawr, PA 2023) / 64 (+7) [thru 14]
