Law, Song, Concolino share LPGA Tour lead at Kingsmill
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) — Playing partners Jennifer Song and Jacqui Concolino stuck together in the Pure Silk Championship. Bronte Law kept up, too. Rebounding from a bogey on the par-4 14th with three straight birdies, Law shot a 3-under 68 on Friday afternoon at Kingsmill Resort to match early starters Song and Concolino at 9-under 133. "It was a battle," Law said.

The Englishwoman had six birdies and three bogeys. "Mistakes happen," Law said. "I'm just going to try to minimize that for the rest of the tournament.

"We were just talking about it in the tent. We fed off each other. She made a birdie, I made a birdie. She was making birdies on top of me." Song had five birdies and two bogeys. "I had a rocky start. I started with a bogey on the first hole and managed to come back with a birdie on my third," Song said. "Just while I was just struggling, Jacqui was having a birdiefest so I was just like, 'Wow, I need to keep up with her.'" The three leaders are winless on the LPGA Tour.
