Aree Song celebrated her 18th birthday by shooting a 2-under-par 70 in the third round of the Chick-fil-A Charity Championship, giving herself a chance to become the youngest winner in LPGA Tour history. A star-studded pack trails Song. Mi-Hyun Kim is one behind and Annika Sorenstam, Grace Park and Se Ri Pak trail by two.

"Although she was just 17, Aree had the same level of education as someone who had graduated from high school," Votaw said. "She made the cut in 11 of 14 LPGA events she played as an amateur and made the cut in every major. It was an easy decision to allow her to attempt to qualify."
