The 36-year-old Korean goes into the final day of the Women’s Open as the leader, hoping to add a third triumph having last won in 2012
Shin Ji-yai leads going into the final day of the Women’s Open as she seeks a first triumph since 2012.Shin Ji-yai leads going into the final day of the Women’s Open as she seeks a first triumph since 2012.The relentless wind did drop a little, as did the elite field’s average score for the third round of the Women’s Open. And, fortunately for her fellow contenders at the top of the leaderboard, Nelly Korda was also more down than up.
It all added up to a round of 75 that left the 26-year-old Korda on five under, two shots behind the new leader, two-time champion Shin Ji-yai. In contrast to Korda’s woes, the Korean made seven birdies – including three in a row from the 7th and one at the notoriously difficult Road Hole – in a round 67 that took her to seven under par for the 54 holes played.That Shin should emerge in such efficient fashion is no real surprise.
Still, apart from the strangely listless Korda, a distinguished bunch is piled up behind the new leader. Jenny Shin, the 2023 Women’s PGA champion, Yin Ruoning, the defending champion, Lilia Vu, the Olympic champion, Lydia Ko, and last year’s runner-up, Charley Hull, are all within five shots of the leader.
