Rolling report: Can Minjee Lee turn her three-shot lead into overall victory on the final day at Pine Needles? Find out with Scott Murray
and so here’s our first opportunity to update the upper reaches of the leaderboard.-5: M Jutanugarn , Khang , Ji, Maguire Good thing she didn’t. She’s in good position for a high finish today after rounds of 71, 69 and 71, followed by a fast start today. Birdies at 1 and 2, and the 24-year-old Californian has risen to -4, just one place outside the current top ten. She would have made it there too, but having launched a 4-iron to 12 feet at the par-three 5th, her birdie putt shaves the lip.
The best she’s managed in eight previous US Open appearances is a tie for eighth in 2017; other than that, it’s never really happened for her at the oldest major in women’s golf. She’s currently fixin’ to do something fairly memorable here today, though. She’s currently through five holes without a par: four birdies, plus a double bogey at 2. She’s -3 overall, yesterday’s 75 having ruled her out of serious contention.
A magnificent final round of 66 sealed the deal that day. She won’t be adding to her major tally today - the 2016 Evian was her other big victory - but the 27-year-old Korean does look set to enjoy another low-scoring Sunday. Birdies at 1, 2 and now 6, and she’s moved into the current top 20 at -1.Park Sung-hyun won this trophy in 2017 Trump National, holding off the sensational challenge of 17-year-old amateur Choi Hye-jin .
The 28-year-old South Korean is going along very nicely this afternoon, having just added to early birdies at 1 and 3 with another at 10. At three under for her round, she’s the lowest scorer out on the course right now. She’s -1 overall, and having started her week with a pair of 69s, will be deeply regretting yesterday’s miserable 77.The last player to make the famous leap into Poppie’s Pond, ahead of the Chevron’s move from California to Texas, shot 71 today.
