Lee Ye-won is approaching her first victory in the Korean Women’s Professional Golf (KLPGA) tour.
Lee Ye-won lost two strokes in the third round of the KLPGA Tour Lotte Rent-A-Car Women’s Open (total prize money of 800 million won) held at the Lotte Skyhill Jeju Country Club Sky Ocean Course (par 72) in Seogwipo, Jeju on the 8th.
She hit two birdies, but committed four bogeys.
However, she maintained her lead for the second day in a row with a median total of 7 under par of 209.
She put her win on the line, widening the gap to second-placed Park Ji-young and Jeon Ye-seong by six strokes.
Lee Ye-won, who was the rookie of the year for her last year and was ranked third on the money list, had three runner-up and third-place finishes without a win.
Park Ji-young lost only one stroke on the day and placed second (1 under par, 215 strokes).
Park Ji-young, who won her 5th career title at the Hana Financial Group Singapore Open, the season opener last December, is aiming for her come-from-behind victory.
If Park Ji-young succeeds in her flip, she becomes the first player to achieve two wins all season.
Jeon Ye-seong, who succeeded in her first win at the Evercollagen Queens Crown in 2021, is aiming for her second career victory in two years.
Ahn Seon-joo and Lee So-young (even par 216) were placed in a tie for third place.
Park Min-ji, who was sluggish with an 8-over-par 80 that day, tied for 41st (11-over par, 227 strokes) with Lee Grant (Sweden), who was ranked 22nd in the world. 토토사이트
