England’s Mimi Rhodes has dropped 5 photographs off leaders Hannah Inexperienced and Minjee Lee after the third spherical on the HSBC Girls’s World Championship.
Rhodes adopted up Thursday’s bogey-less 68 with a three-under 69 on Friday, leaving her in a four-way tie for fifth on the midway stage at Sentosa Golf Membership’s Tanjong course, however the 24-year-old dropped all the way down to tied-Twelfth after three bogey’s and a double-bogey in a spherical of 73.
Rhodes, who racked up three victories on the Women European Tour to safe LET Rookie of the 12 months honours after which capped off her season by incomes her LPGA Tour card by Q-Sequence for 2026, fell away from Australians Hannah Inexperienced and Minjee Lee on the prime of the leaderboard.
Inexperienced, the 2019 Girls’s PGA Championship winner who received the Singapore event in 2024, shot a four-under 68 and three-time main winner Lee 69 to put up three-round totals of 11-under 205.
American Angel Yin (68) and Haeran Ryu (70) of South Korea are tied for third.
With the ultimate group on the eighth gap, six gamers had been tied for the lead at 9 underneath.
Yin took the lead for first time with a birdie from off the inexperienced on the tenth, displacing her fellow American Auston Kim, who had led after the primary two rounds.
Kim had back-to-back bogeys on the seventh and eighth to fall out of the lead, but it surely may have been worse. After seeing her ball plugged in a hazard off the inexperienced on the eighth gap and having to return to the green to hit her fifth shot, she sank a 20-foot putt for bogey to minimise the injury.
Kim completed with a 73 and is tied for sixth at eight underneath, three behind Inexperienced and Lee.
“Definitely, there are a lot of birdies to be made but it’s very easy to make bogey,” Inexperienced mentioned. “So I think just limiting as many of those as possible.
“I have been hitting the ball into the greens, so if I can proceed to try this, and despite the fact that I am enjoying with Minjee, we’re good pals, I do not need to get too caught up in what her scores are.”
Yin mentioned the margins had been shut within the third spherical.
“Good golf and good luck. Honestly there’s nothing much you can do to it,” Yin mentioned. “There’s a lot of instances today where it was like one hole, I made this unbelievable up-and-down. That’s skill and luck to me. So get lucky and get good.”
Lee received her first main in 2021 on the Evian Championship, her second on the US Girls’s Open in 2022 and her third ultimately 12 months’s Girls’s PGA Championship.
High-ranked Jeeno Thitikul, who received final week’s event in her native Thailand, shot 70 that left her at three underneath.
