Karrie Webb Moves Closer to the Top

Karrie Webb finds herself squarely in the mix at the ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Open heading into the weekend sitting in seventh place.

“The course is challenging enough that you’re not going to go out there and shoot mid 60s every day,” Webb explained. “I just feel like I’m in a good position and I think Sunday is still forecast to be quite breezy and opposite direction wind, so it will be a challenging weekend.”

Webb had to grind out her second round 71 which featured a pair of birdies, a bogey and 16 pars.

“Yeah, I mean I really dug deep there for a couple of good pars, made some good par saves,” Webb said. “Like I said, I wouldn’t say that I could have shot any better with the way I swung it.”

The Hall of Famer will be looking to provide more for the raucous home crowd over the weekend.
