Hey there, time traveller!

SYLVANIA, Ohio — No one was more surprised to find Eunjung Yi leading the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic through three rounds than, well, Eunjung Yi.
“I’m the leader?” she repeated, incredulous, when asked how it felt to be leading the pack. “Really? I didn’t know that. By four strokes?”
She was apparently so into just taking care of the shot in front of her, it never dawned on Yi that she was running away with the Farr.
She recorded eight birdies and an eagle in a 10-under 61 to build a four-shot lead Saturday over Song-Hee Kim (64) and Morgan Pressel (67).
The 21-year-old Yi, who has never finished better than a tie for 11th in her 23 LPGA Tour events, was at 18-under 195 after putting up the lowest third-round score in the tournament’s 25 years.
Yi grew up in South Korea but now lives in San Diego. Her father runs a Korean restaurant. “If I win, my dad will give everyone a free meal,” she said with a laugh.
