Overnight leader Wichanee Meechai from Thailand, Australia’s Minjee Lee and America’s Andrea Lee all hold a two-shot lead headed into the final round of the US Women’s Open.
“It’s nothing to be afraid of,” said Meechai. “Everyone has the same thing. Just another round of the tournament. Go with it and have fun on the course.”
Minjee Lee carded an eagle, three birdies and a bogey on Saturday to join the other co-leaders on five under par.
Speaking after her round of 66 she said: “It’s tough if you have super high expectations and the course is hard and difficult. I tried to just keep it pretty calm, and I just tried to be patient out there. I feel like my game has been trending. I feel like it has been coming together for the moment I am in right now.”
Andrea Lee overcame a few early mistakes to keep herself in the hunt with a bogey-free back nine, while Meechai, the only player to manage six under par at any point during the first three rounds, gave up two strokes late to card a one under 69 for the day.
Japan’s Hinako Shibuno shot seven birdies to keep herself in the hunt on three under, while her compatriot Yuka Saso – the only other player to shoot below par through three rounds – is a shot further back.
