(AP) Jaye Marie Green increased her lead to nine strokes Saturday in the LPGA Tour qualifying tournament, reaching 25 under after four rounds.


The 19-year-old Green, from Boca Raton, had a bogey-free 5-under 67 on LPGA International’s Hills Course. She was 29th on the Symetra Tour money list this year.


South Korea’s Mi Rim Lee was second after a 69, also on the Hills Course. She had a course-record 61 on Friday on the Jones Course.


The top 20 after the final round Sunday will earn Category 12 status, Nos. 21-45 and ties will receive membership in Category 17, and the other players who made the 72-hole cut will get Symetra Tour status.


Tiffany Joh was third at 13 under after a 69 on the Hills Course.


Amy Anderson, the 21-year-old former North Dakota State star who won a record 20 college titles, was fourth at 11 under after a 70 on the Hills Course.


South Korea’s Seon Hwa Lee, a four-time winner on the LPGA Tour, and Kathleen Ekey were 10 under. They shot 70, both on the Hills Course.


Cheyenne Woods, Tiger Woods’ niece, missed the cut. She closed with a 73 on the Hills Course to tie for 102nd at 8 over.
