Vu and Hull replaced an Ewing who failed at Walton Heath

The American Lilia Vu and English Charley Hull They took advantage of the collapse of the din this Saturday American ally Ewingleader in the first two days, to take over the shared command in British Open, fifth and final ‘major’ of the women’s golf season and that is played until this Sunday at the club Walton Heath of Surrey (UK).

Ally Ewing began Saturday comfortably installed in the lead and had a five-shot advantage after shooting a 68 on Thursday and a 66 on Friday. But the player from Tupelo was upset and, with three bogeys and not a single birdie in the first nine holes, his rent almost melted away.

Then Ewing regained his tone somewhat with two consecutive birdies at 10 and 11, which helped him as a balm, but two bogeys at 13 and 14, relieved by a birdie at 16, and another blur at 17 gave him control.

Lilia Vu (67 this Saturday) and Charley Hull (68) took advantage of this to take the lead. Both have margin blows to American Angel Yin and South Korean Hyo-Joo Kim, seventh in the world, and two to Ally Ewing, who still hasn’t lost her options.

Charley Hull, number 16 in the world and a local hero, is chasing her first title in a ‘big’, although she has two wins on the LPGA Tour. Lilia Vu, sixth in the world ranking, has a ‘major’ in her showcases: this year’s Chevron Championship. She also won two LPGA tournaments.

The only Spaniard to pass the cut, the newcomer from Malaga, Julia López, 20 years old and current individual European championsigned this Saturday 67 shots (4 over par), with only two birdies for six bogeys, for a total of 221 (+5) in his first experience in a ‘major’.
