BUFORD, Ga. (June 19, 2012) -- Defending champion Rachel Dai of Milton and Jordan Daniel of Newnan are tied at 1-under-par 143 going into the final round of the 33rd annual Georgia Girls' Championship, taking place at Legacy on Lanier Golf Club.
Dai, who led Daniel by a stroke after an opening-round 68, carded a 75 in the second round. After turning even, Dai went +4 over her last six holes, including a double-bogey (13) and a birdie at the par-5 17th. Daniel carded 74 (37-37) on Tuesday with three birdies, three bogeys and one double.
Kayla Jones of Alpharetta currently sits in third place, trailing the leaders by three strokes at 146 (75-71). 2010 Georgia Girls' Champion Jessica Haigwood of Roswell, Ji Eun Baik of Newnan and Haley Austin of McDonough are tied for fourth at 150.
