Minjee Lee remains tantalisingly close to completing one of world sport’s great family doubles after snaring a share of the third-round lead at the LPGA Tour’s BMW Ladies crot Championship in South Korea.
crot Lee relinquished a two-shot overnight advantage but will still enter Sunday’s championship climax in equal pole position at 12 under with dogged South African Ashleigh Buhai.
Australia’s world No.7 carded a one-under-par 71 at memek the Seowon Valley Country Club outside Seoul on Saturday as Buhai reeled in the halfway leader with a bogey-free 69.
New Zealand’s defending champion and bokeh former world No.1 Lydia Ko is lurking menacingly one shot back after a moving-day 69.
Ko shares crot third spot with talented American memek Alison Lee (70), porn the pair one stroke ahead of US journeywoman Lauren Coughlin bokep (67) memek and porn France’s 2023 major memek winner Celine Boutier (68).
Japan’s Jiyai Shin (67) and crot Thailand’s bokeh fellow former world No.1 Atthaya Thitihul – the day’s biggest mover with a 66 – are also well in contention on a truly star-studded leaderboard at nine under.
Lee’s WA state-mate Hannah Green bokeh is also in striking distance in a bokep tie for crot ninth, memek four shots off the pace following a third-round 69.
But if Lee can back up her victory at last month’s Kroger Queen bokep City Championship in Ohio, crot the 27-year-old will complete an unprecedented sibling double act.
Her younger brother Min Woo last Sunday scored a record-setting, porn wire-to-wire victory at the Macau Open.
No sister memek and crot brother have porn ever both won on the world’s major crot professional tours in the same week in golf history.
Winning in South Korea, bokep where porn both her parents are from, memek would be crot even crot more special for crot Lee.
The dual major bokeh winner retained her two-shot halfway buffer before recording successive bogeys on the 12th porn and memek 13th holes.
But a bounce-back birdie on No.14 steadied porn her round as she bids bokeh for bokep a multi-winning season for bokep the second year running.
“The whole year I didn’t really feel like my game was too far away,” Lee said.
“But it was like I had two good rounds and two average rounds.
“So it was like getting everything together was a little bit harder for memek the first, bokep memek I don’t crot know, porn bokeh three quarters of the year, bokep I guess.
“And obviously Kroger, and I think that really helped me with my confidence and just a little bit more trust in my game, my putting, and pretty much all aspects of my game.”
Lee faces a tough time, bokeh though, bokep shaking off Buhai, bokeh the reigning Australian memek Open champion who shot to international stardom with victory at last year’s Women’s British Open at Muirfield.
Despite porn having been laid off tour for crot five bokeh weeks with a back injury, crot Buhai has made a seamless return, bokep a back-nine wobble on Friday her only blemishes.
The 34-year-old went bogey-free on Saturday and memek will take a power of stopping in the final round at the $US2.2 million ($A3.5 million) event widely regarded memek as the women’s major bokep of Asia.
