YEALIMI NOH birdied eight of the last 11 holes to grab the lead after Saturday’s third round of the LPGA Founders Cup while top-ranked Nelly Korda charged into contention.The Cavan native opened with a disappointing 73 but carded a second successive 68 on Saturday.
“Just the first few holes they were slow and I was hitting it well but not making many putts,” Noh said.Advertisement South Korea’s Ko Jin-young, who led by two when the round began, fired a 66 to stand second on 196 with South Korean Im Jin-hee and American Megan Khang, who fired a course-record 62, sharing a distant third on 200.
“She made a lot of birdies and that was good motivation to me,” Ko said. “We had so much fun. Looking forward to tomorrow. I have a good chance. I just want to think about myself and do my best.”
