With one more round, the new US Open champion will be among these players in Lancaster (Pennsylvania): Minjee Lee (-5), Australian of Asian origin, Andrea Lee (-5), American of Asian origin and Wichanee Meechai (- 5), Thai.
Two shots behind is Hinako Shibuno (-3), Japanese, and three shots away is Yuka Saso (-2), a Filipino who competes under the Japanese flag because of her origins.
These five golfers remain under par at this LPGA Tour Grand Slam. The big favorite, according to track record, is Minjee Lee, champion of two majors, including the US Open in 2021, and has ten LPGA victories at just 28 years old.
Carlota Ciganda (+7) shot a 72, with three birdies and five bogeys. Finishing in the top 10 would be a great goal for the Navarrese, although to do so he would naturally need to set the best lap of the day.
Minjee Lee took advantage of one of the front tees to hit a 6-iron for eagle on the par-5 7th hole, putting her right in the match, and she stayed there with other key shots to equal the minimum championship score (66, -4).
