Cristie Kerr made a 55-foot par-saving putt after hitting her final approach into the water Saturday at Aviara, giving her a share of the Kia Classic lead with Lizette Salas.
Kerr finished with a 2-under 70 to match Salas at 10-under 206. After dropping a stroke on the par-5 17th, Kerr holed out from the edge of the green on the par-4 18th after taking a penalty drop.
"Obviously, it was the worst shot I could have hit and then it was the best shot I could have hit," Kerr said. "So go figure, that's golf. It was pretty amazing. It is really one of those moments that you just remember for a lifetime. I was just trying to get it close. Usually that's when those go in."
Kerr won the Kingsmill Championship last year for her 16th LPGA Tour title.
