The leaderboard as of 2:55pm EST:

-20  Soo-Yun Kang

-18  Vicky Hurst, Yani Tseng, Mika Miyazato

-17  Paula Creamer, Song-Hee Kim

-16  Katherine Hull, Seon Hwa Lee, Mikaela Parmlid, Sandra Gal, Na Yeon Choi

-16  Ai Miyazato, Natalie Gulbis, Karine Icher, Jimin Jeong, Angela Stanford

Creamer just birdied 14 to reach the tie for fifth.  Stanford is in the clubhouse at -16 while Icher and Jeong are playing the final hole at that mark.  Helen Alfredsson just birdied 17 to join those at -16 - she and Gulbis are probably too low on holes left to have a chance.  Hurst birdies 11 (third straight!) to get within one of Kang.

3:00 - Ai Miyazato birdies 14 to get within three of the lead.  Parmlid birdies 12 to join her at -17.

3:05 - Kang bogeys 10.  Now tied with Hurst for first.  Tseng and Mika one shot back.

3:15 - Hurst's birdie streak ends with a par 5 at 12.  Tseng has parred eight straight holes since her eagle at 3 (now playing 12).  Creamer birdies 16 to go -18, down by one and tied for third.  Song-Hee becomes leader in the clubhouse at -17.  Gal birdies 14 to go -17.

3:20 - Just noticed In-Kyung Kim is shown as -14 through six even though the final group is playing 12.  Inky's card is missing a number at 7 but says she is -16 through 16 holes.  I wonder how she really stands?  Tseng snaps her par streak with a birdie at 12 and ties Kang and Hurst for the lead.  Let's see the board again:

-19  Tseng, Kang, Hurst

-18  Creamer, Mika M

-17  Gal, Parmlid, SH Kim (F)

-16  Hull (12), SH Lee (13), Ai M (16), five others finished or all but.

3:25 - Inky is -13 through 16.  My pick to win this week will not.  Four-way tie for the lead as Creamer birdies 17.  Wait a minute...Kang birdies 12 to take the lead for herself at -20.  Mika stays close with a birdie of her own at 12.  Still several holes to go but I already have that playoff feeling.  Big bogey by Hurst at 13 drops her to -18, down two with five to go.

3:30 - If Creamer is going to make that playoff I'm sensing, I think she has to birdie 18.  With her main competition playing on 13 or 14, I don't believe -19 would be good enough.

3:40 - Hurst pars 14, still down by two at -18.  Tseng pars 13, still down by one.  At -17, Parmlid has three holes and Gal only two to make something happen.

3:44 - Creamer birdies 18 to tie Kang at -20.  Will it be good enough?  Birdies on her last three holes and four of the last five.  Back-to-back 65s by Paula after starting Saturday tied for 26th place.

3:50 - Ai-chan birdies 18 to guarantee a Top 10 finish at -17.  Hurst pars 15 to stay -18.  Tseng pars 14.  Kang and Mika each par 13 to leave the board like this:

-20  Creamer (F), Kang (13)

-19  Tseng (14), Mika M (13)

-18  Hurst (15)

-17  Parmlid (15), Gal (17)

4:00 - Kang and Mika both par 14.  Tseng pars 15.  Hurst bogeys 16 to fall three back and out.  Four players remain with a chance, one of them in the clubhouse still tied for the lead.

4:10 - Status quo - Kang and Mika both par 15.  Tseng birdies 16 and we have a three-way tie at -20.

4:20 - Kang birdies 16 to take the solo lead at -21.  Mika pars 16 and is now two behind with two to go.

4:25 - Tseng birdies 17 to tie Kang at -21.  Creamer in the clubhouse one back and Mika Miyazato two back through 16.

4:35 - Par for Mika at 17 just about ends her chances.  Kang also pars 17 and will go to the final hole tied for the lead.

4:40 - Tseng pars 18 to finish -21 and eliminate Creamer.  Mika will need eagle on the par-4 to tie Yani while Kang will need par for a playoff and birdie for a win.  Soo-Yun has not parred 18 yet this week.  Birdies in rounds 1 and 3, bogey in round two.

4:50 - No playoff.  Kang bogeys 18 and Yani Tseng wins the final Corning Classic, her second career victory and first of 2009.  Kang finishes tied for second with Paula Creamer while Mika Miyazato finishes alone in fourth.  Four players tie for fifth - Song-Hee Kim, Ai Miyazato, Sandra Gal and Vicky Hurst.

Coverage is scheduled to start at 6:30 EDT on Golf Channel - unless the PGA event goes long and drives the post-game show to a later time, that is.  Even knowing the outcome, I can't wait to see how all this transpired.
