Anne Van Dam from the Netherlands shot the round of the day and will share the lead with Sloveniaโs trailblazing golfer Katja Pogacar heading into the final round of the ActewAGL Canberra Classic.
ยฉ Ladies European Tour
Starting her round with consecutive birdies on the first and second holes, she birdied five holes in a row from the sixth to the 10th and had a birdie chance from 15 feet on the 11th and an eagle chance from 20 feet on 12, after she drove the green, but three-putted and lost momentum. The 23-year-old from Arnhem fought back with a birdie on 15, but three-putted for a par on the last hole.
The three-time Ladies European Tour winner, who won the Estrella Damm Mediterranean Ladies Open and Costa del Sol Andalucia Open de Espaรฑa late last year, told reporters that thoughts of a 59 went through her mind after making seven birdies in her first 10 holes.
โWhen I birdied 10, I thought, I need five more birdies, which I think is do-able, especially on the back nine, which is easier. Iโm in a good position and I really like the course. It suits my eye and Iโve been hitting a lot of good shots, so Iโm looking forward to tomorrow. Iโd sign for another round like that right away.โ
The European Solheim Cup points leader added: โIโm swinging it really good, so Iโm going to keep playing aggressively. Thatโs my game and I need to keep playing aggressively because thatโs how I make my low scores.โ
ยฉ Ladies European Tour
Pogacar, the first player from Slovenia to qualify for the Ladies European Tour, holds a share of the lead and will play in the final group for the first time, with Van Dam and Scot Carly Booth, who carded a 65 and is one shot back on 10-under.
Pogacar started with a bogey on her first hole, the 10th, but birdied the next two holes before making an eagle on the par-5 18th. She then carded four more birdies on the front nine at the first, fourth, sixth and ninth, holing a breaking putt from 25 feet.
โIt feels awesome. Iโm really excited,โ said the 24-year-old from Ljubljana. โI played some solid shots and I had to wait patiently for the putts to roll in.โ
Booth, who had seven birdies and a bogey, said it was a good putting day. โI was really comfortable over the ball today and I was comfortable with my putts, so that helped massively.
โI went flying from holes 10 to 12 and birdied those three, which were a bit unexpected really. I hit good shots and saw the putts, so I didnโt make any silly errors. I made one bogey where I missed the fairway on the right and blocked myself out but apart from that it was pretty solid and my pace putting has been really good. That has helped me visualise the pace and line of the putts and that makes such a difference.
โIโm feeling positive about this year. Itโs a new year to get myself in gear and I feel itโs on the right track and a lot of it is self-belief. Iโm starting to believe in myself again.โ
Jiyai Shin is right behind in a share of fourth position with Belgian Manon De Roey.
