the Irish lion maguire maintained his leadership in Women’s PGA Championship in the field of Balthusrol, in Springfield (New Jersey, USA) with a cumulative -7 and a stroke advantage over the South Korean Jenny Shinon the third day where the Spaniards Charlotte Ciganda signed a -2 and added a total of one over par.
After starting the tournament at -2 and posting a -3 on Friday, Maguire delivered a new card of 69 shots, two under par, the result of four birdies for two bogeys. He finished one stroke ahead of Shin, who shot a brilliant 5-under-par 66 with no bogeys.
Two steps away, and still options, the Northern Irish Stephanie Meadowwho carded a 67 stroke Saturday and added a five-under par total.
Ciganda had his best round of the tournament with 69 shots, a -2, the result of an eagle and two birdies for two bogeys. She is tied for 26th position, well behind Maguire, along with Ecuadorian Daniela Darquea, who signed the pair on Saturday. Navarrese will be looking to break into the top ten of the LPGA Tour’s second Grand Slam.
At the end of his round, one from Ulzama said that a round “under par is always good in a ‘big’. The course has changed a lot, the first day was very difficult and today it rained hard and was a bit easier. Looking forward to tomorrow (for Sunday)”.
Carlota added: “The putt was a shame, but the birdie and the eagle at the end were excellent”. He still finds himself with options to fight for top positions. “At least if I start well and get through the first nine holes, I think under three or four, I can have an option in those nine seconds,” he concluded.
