Two tied for Sally lead at 15 under entering Saturday's final round

What was looking like a rout has become a battle with 18 holes remaining in the 100th anniversary edition of the Sally Championship at Oceanside Country Club.

Amelie Zelsman, who started the day seven shots back, shot an 8-under-par 64 Friday and stormed into a tie for first place with Mia Hammond, who started the day with a six-shot lead.

They sit at 15-under 201 through 54 holes and they’re not exactly alone. Just three shots back is Kary Hollenbaugh, who has won the past two Sally tournaments. Hollenbaugh shot 68 Friday to remain within range of a possible three-peat.

Hammond’s round was damaged late with a double-bogey 7 on the par-5 17th hole. Along with a bogey, that led Hammond to a 1-over 37 on the back nine, while Zelsman played the second nine in 4-under 32 — it was highlighted by an eagle on the par-5 12th.

The next closest golfer to the top three is Palm Coast’s Alexandra Gazzoli, who shot 68 Friday and sits alone in fourth at 5 under par.

The leaders and closest chaser — Hammond, Zelsman and Hollenbaugh — have Saturday’s final tee time for the final round, starting at 11:30 a.m.
