Imagine being just one stroke away from the top spot only to have your dreams of victory slip further away in the blink of an eye. This is exactly what happened to American Brooke Matthews who went from trailing Sean Kim by just a single stroke after the second round to falling six strokes behind after a devastating triple bogey on the par 15th hole. But here’s where it gets interesting. Seong Kim’s incredible eagle on the 17th hole has catapulted her into a commanding four-stroke lead going into the final round of the BMW Ladies Championship. With a three round total of 19 under 197, Kim is looking unstoppable despite a bogey on the 18th hole. And this is the part most people miss. The challenging conditions at Pine Beach Golf Links on the Korean Peninsula with blustery winds and cloudy skies made every shot a battle. Yalimi No and Nasa Hatulka are tied for second place, but they have their work cut out for them if they want to catch up to Kim. Meanwhile, defending champion Hannah Green is eight strokes behind Kim, tied with fellow Australian Mi Lee, and Brooke Henderson is nine strokes off the lead. As the first of consecutive LPGA tournaments in South Korea, this event is setting the stage for an exciting few weeks of golf. But what do you think? Can anyone catch up to Seong Kim or is she a shoein for the win? and how will the challenging conditions affect the final round? Let us know in the comments. The real question on everyone’s mind though is what will happen next week at the International Crown Team event. Will Kim be able to keep her momentum going? Or will someone else rise to the challenge? One thing is for sure, with two more LPGA events scheduled on the five event Asian swing, there’s plenty of golf left to be played. But here’s a thought-provoking question. Should the LPGA consider adding more events to the Asian swing given the clear interest and talent in the region? Or would this dilute the quality of the tournaments? We’d love to hear your thoughts.
