SINGAPORE (Reuters) – Chun In-gee will take a one-shot lead over fellow South Koreans Lee Jeong-eun and Ko Jin-young into Sunday’s final round of the HSBC Women’s World Championship following a six-under par third round at Singapore’s Sentosa Golf Club on Saturday.
The unflappable Chun moved to 12-under after 56 holes to lead from her compatriots as a bogey-free round took her to the highest of the leaderboard.
The 27-year-old two-time main winner claimed sole possession of prime spot with a birdie on the par-three fifteenth gap on the best way to finishing the third round in 66 strokes.
World primary Ko, who was tied for the lead going after Friday’s second round, hit a 69 to stay in competition whereas Lee’s 65 was one of the best round of the day.
Lee made a blistering begin to her day, draining a putt in extra of 20 toes at the fourth as she picked up 5 pictures within the opening seven holes to assert a share of the lead.
She then chipped in for an eagle at the par-five tenth to ascertain herself among the many frontrunners.
Overnight co-leader Amy Yang put the ball within the water at the sixteenth to register a double-bogey seven, capping a irritating round that leaves her three pictures behind Chun and in a tie for fourth alongside Danielle Kang and Atthaya Thitikul.
Thailand’s Patty Tavatanakit, chief at the tip of Thursday’s first round, set off at a blistering tempo early within the day and moved right into a share of first on the thirteenth with the sixth birdie of her round.
But final 12 months’s LPGA Rookie of the Year noticed her problem falter when a tee shot into the water at the fifteenth resulted in a double bogey earlier than a triple bogey six at the seventeenth noticed her drop again to four-under alongside two-time winner Park In-bee.
