A very good afternoon and a warm welcome to wait for it a sunny Saturday here at the Hana Financial Group Singapore Women’s Open Timothy low here welcoming you to the tournament country clubs tampones course for day three action of the season opening event of the 2024 klpga tour

Season great to have your company this Saturday in the lion City and it’s great to see that the weather is finally cooperating we had three rain delays over the course of the first two rounds here at the tanes course but the skies have cleared the sun is out to play the

Course is starting to Bear its teeth in these slightly warmer conditions and we’re set for what should be a captivating weekend contest here are the groups that will keep an eye on today Patty tavatanakit in the company of lisu Jin 3 and the amateur sensation 15-year-old o Su Min they went off at

12:40 local time just behind them hang yo Min in her sophomore season on the KP Jor alongside hin Lin and the former winner on the kpj tour J eung going off in your final group for this third round a very interesting cast of characters Kim jhe who turns 23 on

Sunday takes the lead into today by a single shot over Park Doan who’s never kept a card on the kpj tour and the big hitting Bang Shin s two victories last year in her rookie campaign a golf course that should set up well for the big hitting 20y

Old Kim jhe took a One-Shot lead into the weekend stages of play and look at that doesn’t make for a pretty picture sunny skies up ahead a pretty warm 32° celus fairly humid conditions as we get in this part of the World Singapore just being 1 degree north of the equator 63%

Humidity in the breeze is coming out of the Northeast today this is how your leaderboard Stacks up as we join the action this Saturday at tanira Kim J he had a little bit of a wobble on the on the third hole with a double bogey but reeled off three straight birdies to get

Herself up to 11 under par great moves from osum Min soan Jong and Jong Yun G I’ll have them on the first page of the leaderboard so this is osum min prodigious young Talent this player is only player in the field still bogey free this week and that’s

No mean feet around the tanese course does give that good pop lot of speed T been moved up here on the 9th making it drivable today only needed a three with there for osum Min and that is an eagle opportunity for the South Korean teenager we drop back to the eighth and

Somewhere behind our mini leaderboard there she is is hang yo Min who’s found the green and two putting from the backage this one going to be working uphill all the way and lackluster at best for last season’s diena mbn ladies open Champion 10 shot Improvement yesterday

From her opening run a 73 10 birdies in a 63 Hong yo Min a lot of eyes would have in on Patty tavat tanut to start the week fourth week in a row teeing it up Patty T back in the winner circle after a dominant victory at the Riad Golf Club on the

Ladies European tour the aramco Saudi ladies International and one in her homeland of Thailand at the Honda LPGA Championship second LPGA Tour title and it’s the second week in a row in Singapore for the 24y old Tai TI for eight last week at santosa golf club HSBC women’s world

Championship and here she is inside the top five at the hanaa natural group Singapore Women’s Open carries a three-wood and a fivewood Patty I believe that was her fivewood just trying to roast one up there going to catch the greenside bunker once again kudos to the tournament committee moving up this t on

9 making it interesting making it exciting as a driveable par 4 yeah go back to janang former surion Queen Champion couple of seasons ago this is a birdie look and that is a birdie found for j s nice bounce back after her drop shot

At the 7th so gets her back to where she began the weekend at 800 it’s just been a string of pars for wo in so far today she’d love for that to come to an end with this birdie opportunity at the par five oh well done it’s going to count as

A twart which I had to work for for it the count is open for the day for hang yo Min goes into that share of fourth at nine underp and what a leaderboard we have shaping up already Jong Yun G’s made some good moves today went out in 33 picked up

Another birdie at 10 before dropping one at 11 this a chance for yi to get to that group at nine really accessible pin today on 12 and that little ball in the front section of the green just a fraction High there for J just the one kpg to a title for her

Many feel and expected she should have lifted more silver we certainly possesses the game and talent to do so this looks like the 15th hole or the eighth hole beg your pardon bin s get home in two really if you’re going to go for this screen you had the f fire power you

Need to go long with your second shot is not an easy up and down you can see why is that big protruded Ridge just about Five Paces short of that pin position it’s going to take some deaf touch to get it close from there from Shin Sil there’s some moving and

Shaking to the leader board it’s good to see here in Singapore as for and of course massive thanks to our sponsors here this week at the Singapore women’s and the Hana Financial Group do so much to support not only women’s golf in South Korea and around the asia-pacific region but also the men’s

Golf an a financial group and their subsidiaries have a lot to be proud of it’s a great Championship here in Singapore and long may it continue popular place to start the year for these ladies now Kim J he had to sleep on the lead last night never an

Easy thing to do has to be said she’s acquitted herself well after that really Rocky start important here she make sure she finds that top Plateau coming out of the left rough should expect a little release pitched a little soft on her and it’s going to be a little testy tup

Put so Patty a lot of sand to cover here before it gets on the green h cut just at the start of that back Plateau got to keep good acceleration here wonderfully played by tavatanakit currently second on the lpj tur money list through the first four events over $300,000 us backed

B and quite the story here 25y old turn pro back in 2016 kept her card by the skin of her Dee last season got the last available card 60th on the money list that’s a stunner into the eighth so Eagle opportunity now for suin come over this big hump in the

Middle of the green slow to start speeds up once you get off the backs side of it anything within 4 feet is a pretty good effort that she’ll have that for a front line of three under paath 33 so shinil graduate of bbong high school turn pro straight after completing her

Education it’s been a good decision so far but short game is going to be tested here really think she’s got to play one low try and Chase it that’s the pick up speed there settle down settle down okay it’s not bad at least she’s left herself on the correct side of the hole

Now so putting uphill let the kpj to in driving distance for the 2023 season just over 260 yards off the team now le Su Jin 3 another player who could really use a good solid week here this for a par oh that’s well hold 27 year old who’s got a combined

Career earnings total of 460 million1 she has been a pro for 10 years coming on 11 now so not all sunshine and Roses in this game I can promise you that players certainly do get put through the ringer tournament leader you would have seen bunction s’s chips as she knows it

Does start to gather Pace once you Crest this Ridge happily take two putts from here didn’t give it enough to get over the hump and that’s a bit of a mistake doesn’t she know it cuz now she’s got a slippery pass saving butt that she’ll be able to Center the

Hole with much Pace at all so potential two shot swing looms U in for a birdie at nine to get to 11 under stay up just didn’t hit it still despite that three put at nine bgy free threw 45 holes at the tanese course for the teenager for the moment sits one back

Now shinil as quick as her ball was traveling past the hall from the other side this is going to be slow coming back up that rise as a result just loses that a little low oh Patty tavatanakit who also can send the ball out a long way found this

Screen and two and walked off with a three put par she’s got a chance to make amends here get herself into a share of second at 10 under this one just wanders right as it gets to the cup beautifully hold great up and down Patty T much like a playing partner OSU Min

Turns into underpath 34 we said on Thursday she’s definitely going to be there or thereabouts come the weekend and she is there through nine holes on Saturday should be a tie for the lead if this doesn’t go for Kim J he it’s a pow put at eight

Oh and that is going to fill her with so much confidence sometimes in golf not dropping a shot feels better than picking one up she made hard work of it but all that matters is number five in her scorecard under that eighth hall now across to the back nine and Jong Yun

G seems to leave herself a lot of puts from this range this for birdie good Tempo on the stroke and a good result certainly seems to be putting a little Freer this season and it’s showing fifth birdie of the dayve j y g within two shots of Kim

J talked about the journeyman travels of Park doen this would be a nice birdie Brave SEC Brave approach shot and a great part there well hold it’s only dropped one shot all week long Park finds herself now in the thick of the action as the final group of the

Day head up to the power 49th which has been made drivable par for today with the te’s being pushed up so only playing 229 M that Fairway bunker about 100 yard shot not going to come into play this massive green side bunker on the left certainly will it’s a green that has

Plenty of humps and Hollow lots of undulation around here most players can get to this hole get to this green I should say even with a three-wood understandably so a bit of a traffic jam back on this te this is the penultimate group Fango Min and Company and goodness

Me she stamped that one onto the back edge of the green she’s carried that almost 240 M I know we’re on an elevated T but still that’s a good poke out there have a look for that leaderboard how conest it is jhe leads at 11 four players at 10 three players at

9 still anyone’s Championship J Sun just turned 23 years of age earlier this week a little quick at the transition might have found that massive queenside bunker h s in still yet to win on the klpga to came ninth here last track round one of three top 10 she had back in

2023 Scuttle on to the green but it’s going to miss that hump and is’s going to be where OSU Min was putting from you know that’s not a guaranteed tart birdie which is on the dance floor in one at the reachable nth today so out to the 10th T we go in a

Hole that played as the third hardest hole for yesterday’s second rounde you can see why there is Long Lake that stretches up the left hand side of this hle got a smaller penalty area right of the fairy here it’s really claustrophobic t-shot you can see from the flags pting green behind Patty tanit

Playing slightly into the breeze quick reach for the tea usually a sign of a well struck t- shot and ideal for tavatanakit she starts her back nine trailing Kim jhe by a shot she’s currently 39th in the world amateur golf rankings the 15-year-old from South

Korea on the song Am Cup last year in her Homeland one of the most prestigious amateur titles in South Korea can runner up at the makong cup as well and knows what it’s like to compete on the kpg tour top 10 finish at the kochon honey ladies open last

Season as I mentioned the only player in this field who is bogy free still bogey free I should say up to the par three 14th and Jung Yun G one of the greens that was reshaped earlier this year sorry late last year I should say another superb t- shot from Yun that

Whole location would not have been possible 12 months ago we did some fantastic work to create more whole location on that par three now parun kyung first look of the day at the now five-time kpga tour winner second shot into the 11th just coming out of that left

Rough was pretty much in the middle of this scen today clever shot there’re using the Contours to feed that on down close and with the touch he possesses with the putter in hand figure that’s going to be almost a guaranteed birdie for Park H kyung it’s getting congested at the top

Of the leaderboard still the name of Kim J he sits pretty at top of it one shot clear over a quartet of Chasers including Patty tavatanakit e e e e e e if that’s not the longest or tallest mini leaderboard that you’ll see all year in the kpga tour is I don’t know

What is now tough shot here for hongin severe downhill Li coming out of the rough pitching into an UPS slope but then it works away from her once it gets over that brow head on the side of caution there that came out too hot she could have

Easily trundled that into the green side bunker on the other side of the green just a little unlucky with that t-shot carried it too far now Patty T’s got three wood out here believe that’s a five wood going to get it as close to that green

As possible in two again don’t want to turn it over left could me a watery grave start this inside those right bunkers try and turn a little draw off them she has been in Supreme control of a gol swing and her golf game over the last four weeks it’s been a pleasure to

Watch py back to her best form now Jung Yun G for another birdie to get to five under par for this third round should move a little from her left well done Jong Yuni backto back birdies and she gets into a share of second place five players now at 10 under

Par certainly lining up behind Kim J he now suin also with the three-wood look like it started a little further left than she was aiming but teenager doesn’t seem too bothered why would she be world at her feet really 15 years old to be that good and that confident on a

Golf course that take something special this young lady was ranked third in the world Amateur Golf Ranking at one point in her young career it’s fifth when she turned Pro wo Min to make it six players and 10 under oh not this time you think about it she’s made 11 birdies in her

Last 27 seven holes of play those players that really wishing she could have taken that first round 73 back tatan it right edge of the Fairway to this pin on 10 today that it’s 25 Paces on how these greens have dry out nicely over the course of this third round

Figure that you just have to allow for a little bit of release they were playing pretty much Target golf on Thursday and Friday with the Soggy nature of the golf course she factor that into her calculations as we drop back to the ninth hle H see Lynn drove the green with her

T- shot eagle put to here this is now for birdie for ceiling suspect this should want to Mo a little from left to right maybe just outside left Edge more than that like the amateur in the group ahead off with a three- put par it’s a good pin this on I

Particularly with it playing as a driver B par for now back to Patty T coming out of that first cut of rough not going to get quite as much spin on this has to land it a little bit shorter allow it to release and Chase on tug that a fraction but she’s

Okay just getting tangled up in that sticky rough a little shutting that club face down no harm done for the tie probably one of the hardest par fives that these ladies will play all year on tour so left edge of the faway for Le Su Jin 3

A good smart shot he going to catch the slope try yeah could be complaining about that that’s a fine shot a player who’s not been in this position too often the klp gour has bird this hole in each of the first two days despite playing as one of

The three hardest holes on the golf course so clearly fancy a chances around here she’ll look to attack coming out of the Fairway slight downhill live but really shouldn’t be too much of a problem aggressive is the 15-year-old going to be here holding that club face open through the

Shot needed another three yards to get on the other side of that Ridge and catch the slope but it’s not bad so green is clear at nine final three ball ready to take to the te finished seventh in the SK Telecom championship in the final event of last

Year to secure that 60th and final card for 2024 driver here for Park this one could be good if it just wanders a little left that’s all right again she’ll have that big hump to negotiate but just through the back of the green shinil surely this is just going

To be a 3w maybe even a Hybrid Club for her soone was playing 250 yards it’s a drive about 260 so the big stick definitely not the the play here particularly downwind Three Wood trying to hoist that as high in the air as possible get it to come down

Soft G2 just going to trundle through the back of the green again not a bad leave King J he offer best season ever on the KL PGA Tour missed half of her cuts through the first 10 events of the Season only missed one cut in her last 14 of the

Season two runnerup finishers in there as well spun out of that a little I think it’s leaking right all three players in this final group through the back of the green at nine Kim J he a championship leader by one with the most real estate to cover for her pit shot

Going across to juango Mint getting her back nine underway primar moves the ball from right to left so should just want to start this at the right edge of the Fairway turn that little draw get it to chase okay done of the green to have a tanakit first

Part of this put’s going to want to shoot right on Patty he coming off that Fringe should level up and straighten out as it gets to the cup really shot right on her at the start he took a bit of a wobble as well just knocking off some

Pace once again on 10 Patty T will have to settle for par but the scoring average of the field on this hle through the first two days you’re picking up about a tenth of a shot on the field that is even though this is only about 20 ft

Away there’s going to be some right to left break in this for osum Min you can see that sort of tail end of the hump sits in the middle of this screen just about 6 feet in front of her so she’ll send it over that it really should start to turn left quite

Aggressively as it gets over that brow never got that started high enough so not to be a third birdie of the week at the par five for oh she should stay at 10 under think just try to pitch this at the very edge of that top Plateau maybe

Get it to check a touch and then just release down the slope with dying breath she’s got this well back into STS like she’s trying to play a bit of a bump and run for that first option we just carry that way too far tried to pitch there the bottom of that little

Ball curious shot selection from your tournament leader just don’t think that was the right play there for Kim jhe to the hard charging Jong Yun G second shot into the 15th demanding hole this one second shot plays to a elevated Plateau Type green pins 18 from the front and six

From the right today at the top of just a little slope she has been dialed in with a distance control today that is excellent from jungu G and just being past the pin it’s going to leave her an uphill relatively flat part she’s looking to hang a number in the clubhouse get in

Before the leaders now shinil be closer on than J he that’s the shot I think it’s the right one to play just a little Chaser not bad no guaranteed three just yet B golf at the age of seven introduced to this great game the

Father is that he had a lot to be proud of with the career that his daughter has had p w going to go with the poter from here I don’t hate this place wait we say a an in doubt putt it CU a bad put’s

Always going to be better than a a bad chip do have some sticky paspalum fringes around these greens which can affect the ball if they’re not hit with conviction but again with right around 50 60 ft here getting it hard enough where your ball should stay pretty straight through that

Just a little firm but at least the comeback is going to be working back uphill for Park got the three-wood for her layup into this 10th again just want to keep this down the right half of the Fairway don’t bring that trouble left into play Too Far Right perhaps for Hong

Players would have gotten a little shutle ride from the 10th green across the canal to the 11th T where we now find Patty tavatanakit Fairway bunker down the right that has to be avoided the Fairway does tilt from left to right so she can keep this down the left and it should

Kick back to the middle not that far left though but again pretty forgiving spot to miss this Fairway at 11 really impressed by not only the composure of U Min this week but also that goal swing first time I’ve had the opportunity to watch a little bit of her

Play and she is mighty impressive look at how technically sound this is green angles big white shoulder turn really aggressive lower body move clears that hip so beautifully arms and upper body just snap through like a treb shape creates a lot of power for a player that really can’t weigh

More than 150 lb soaking wet this can get awkward for Kim ji just into that first cut of rough it’s only a short shot but it requires good acceleration decent effort there for Kim he told her that she was still going to be leading after nine holes today pretty

Sure she would have taken that quite handily particularly after that double at three under par front n keeps jhe out in front could she have company in a couple of moments time this for a birdie three being up and down birdie from the back of the

Green what move her into a share of the lead so okay just indicating maybe outside left SP very peace dependent could even start this left edge with good aggressive speed you try to just D it inly have to look maybe a ball left it is coming up

Here so she can be positive with it started that one straight green and slope just push that right straight away never had a chance J he stays one clear of dor punction still with a putt to come there’s also a putt to come for Jong Yun at 15 to join the

Lead slightly uphill minimal breaking this she’ll fancy her chances just got to keep her speed up oh that is cruel not sure how that Ball’s finished behind the hall but that is going to be a par four for Jong yunji you can scarcely believe that missed

Herself now shinil just got to be wary of the speed here pting pretty much straight downhill a great birdie for bang who joins Kim jhe at the top of the leaderboard through nine holes on Saturday afternoon hin Lin set to play her third into 10 little

Slope about 6 feet right of this pin which players can use to funnel it down something just like that excellent shot there from s in JN some Far Right edge of the faway so the ball’s going to be slightly above her feet just on this angle if she

Pitches it we see ly land at hers that first bounce is going to be a little bit hotter so might have to pitch this on the flat upper plateau and then just have it trickle over and onto that down slope and lucky just pitched into the

Face of that slope took all the sting out of it seen that but before it’s going to have some break from right to left Hong your men thankfully did avoid that Fairway bunker but it looks like a fairly heavy lie for her trying to gouge that out play this

Shot with a bit of run that stopped quickly little unlucky there for y min so we’ve hit the back nine on Saturday afternoon again I have been very fortunate with the weather today there are some thundery showers forecasted to move in s of the late afternoon fingers crossed we done before

That so bankin s now shares the lead started a little right that’s going to be okay to short of that penalty area right at this Fairway the lead after a blemish round of 65 to open her campaign on Thursday have a career best finish on the kpj

Tour last year the KB Financial Group star championship in Inon top five there she’s got company at the top of the leaderboard now Kim J it’s champanes course redesigned by Phil Jacobs a couple years ago few Improvement made to the golf course in the last 12 months couple of greens

Reshaped couple of bunkers moved big changes to this par 510th though it’s still just a really demanding hole so that is all that remains for hun ly to get herself up to eight underpar so to make sure you’re not trotting on any of your playing Partners lines or

You’ll pick that tea up as well sain pick the ball out of the middle of the cup she gets within three now paty out of the left rough sitting down just a smid so it might come out a little slow not much Spin and sort of pitch this just left of

The pin and use that slope to funnel it in close just came out a little slow on Patty she’s safely on the Dance Floor U mint has the luxury of pretty much going straight at this flag stick left half for the Fairway excellent angle to this right

Flag so big swinging putt now for hango Min back at the 10th but it is for birdie and she’s under red that as well just takes a lot of trust to send it as high up as you need to on some of these big breaking butts power will do no damage to the

Scorecard for the third straight day and understandably so playing preferred lies this week that’s why Kim J has ball in hand back on The Fairway at the green Jenny s has learned nothing from the part of Hangin almost a carbon copy that one falls off

Low so birdie and a pair of pars for the threesome in the penultimate group really just want to start this at the pair of Fairway bunkers right at the Fairway you can see them there Inside Edge of that big tall rain tree would be a good good

Line really hear that breeze starting to pick up now it’s going to make this back nine interesting okay just tug that a touch but we’ll stay on the left half of the Fairway up at 11 tavatanakit pretty slow putt from the front edge of this enormous putting

Surface this ball will want to slide to the right just as it gets to the cup D playing in Breezy conditions you really don’t want to be ballooning balls up in the air or putting too much s spin on them because playing into the wind that’s always going to exas iate and

Exaggerate the amount of side spin you put on the ball you get this one turning over it’s going to be wet so really got to keep that club face Square through impact good shot there to make it a threeway tie at 11 under par osum Min at 11 for

Birdie she hit it no just leak that a touch right in Sil t-shot found the the cart part so has taking a free relief second shot now and she’s got the three-wood it was a bizarre sequence of events as we came off the air yesterday evening this players are pretty much

Engulfed in darkness yet ban still inom tried to finish up the 10th hle shinil eventually making a bogey six that’s a brief shot off a hanging light she’s done very well Jong Yun g at the signature Hall at the tanese course the island green par three 16th downhill bird opportunity for

Jung oh she has hit some good putts today she’s shaved a lot of edges as well another great try that doesn’t quite drop there two holes left to play and what’s been a very productive day for Jung y five under the card up into a share of

Third as the sun is out and the breeze starts to pick up here on day three at the Hana Financial Group Singapore Women’s Open B Shin s and Kim jhe leading the way at 11 undera e we e e e e one shot into 10 now for your Championship co-leader Kim J

He just want to keep it fracing to the left of that TV tower but that started a little too far left okay it’s just going to hang up for Kim turns 23 years old tomorrow this would be some present through kpga to a title now PK Doan split the difference between the

Flag and that TV tower that should be the ideal start line for Park leaks that one out right and that is going to be desperately quick putting back down towards the left hand side of the screen should so not wasting any time here nice angle in right half of the

Fairway takes it straight over the top of the stick excellent shot there two wins last year coming at the E1 charity ladies open at s 1 and the kit championship by dongu construction on the modified stable third event on the kpga tour you see that whole location the very

Left hand side of this 12th green for Patty tavatanakit it’s an enormous putting surface here at the 12th second shot plays about three yards downhill that is arguably the easiest hole location you can find on the screen sitting in that little collection area on the front

Left a slope to the right got a slope long which you can throw your ball into and it will come back down towards the hle especially with preferred Li ball in hand and off a nice flat light like this for tanit you certainly expect her to be dancing this one around the

Pin just a little past the flag and a little right of it gives her the best chance chance to properly use the Contours of this green to funnel it down close that’s a mistake tugs that left it’s a makeable chip but that’s a pretty wide Miss from Patty t with you

Have to say it was only a a short eye an a iant we saw this from tavatanakit the group ahead that Fringe that shoulder really kicks the ball hard right the first six feet got to play this with paace oh well that happens never had a prayer really

Aart keep her level with shid Sil for now bang still with a birdie look to come at the par five Jung and G at the par 4 17th get some pretty uneven lies in the faires here at the tanese course this one all slightly above her feet and off

An uphill Li it’s really going to shoot up high into this strengthening draft is it going to stay on the top level just just about for Jung Yan G pretty flat for the first two-thirds of this putt and then gets rapid once it gets over the crest and starts working

Its way down to the hall that needs to settle that needs to settle sometimes you pay the price for being a little too conservative around this tanese course up and over a a gentle slope here for journy Sun moving from left to right for birdie I had the line just didn’t quite have

The pace there for Jun so for the outright lead for Bang Shin Sil just loses that one Low still we remain H locked at 11 underp between bang and Kim Jong T tanit and oh for the moment p d lurking just one back now slightly left off the te should be fine enough actually get up and over this tree for uid this one could come back he could come

Back but still all things considered EX excellent shot a teenager y mint just a hole behind from the very top of that spine so this will be downhill moving from left to right but last couple of feet it does flatten out see if she’s learned anything playing partner’s butt

Not a bad effort there for y Min she’s lurking we know she’s got low rounds in her 63 yesterday low round of the week by Two Shots previous best of 65 for Bangin s on Thursday so papart now to keep Park do that share of third place up to be this time for

Park three part bogy six to start her back nine this is the 17th green Jung Yun G and Company sizing up their birdie putts G playing alongside liay young and soan Jung s Jung also going along well today four under the card he’s got that one tracking nicely

Really good lag put from long range for soy and J couple of early Bogies at three and five but he sprinkled in plenty of birdies six already today she’s certainly keeping herself in the conversation at 9 under power with just the par five 18th to come the tanit can pretty much land this

On the green this one should check pretty quickly well played shot but that just releases on into sort of KNE knocker territory shinil back on the T 254 yds to carry the right bunk don’t need to take it straight over that ample room left so for a share of the lead U Min

One of four amateur to make the halfway cut at this championship and she’s got another Birdie the 15-year-old amateur joins Bang Shin s and Kim jhe top the leaderboard 10 kpga tour titles have been won by amers the last of which coming in 207 by our LPGA tour star Choy her

Jin so three at the top a 15year old a 22y old and a 20y old that’s going to be left for J he she’ll get a little extra off the cart path and again left hand side of this 11th hle really not too penal so

It is the better side of the hle to miss on if you are going to miss this Fairway y g he going to downhill slope to negotiate about halfway between her ball and the hole as it gets to the top of that Plateau it should start moving right picking up speed

Yeah great touch there really good speed from J we had a very solid year last season J G 23 years of age finished 16th on the money list back in 2023 okay well done certainly in position to better her fifth place finish last time out at the Singapore Women’s

Open Two Shots behind eventual winner po G young tatan for par back at the 12 can’t afford to be giving up shots here okay well done good up and down for Patty T keeps her one drift threeway tie as we hit the back nine Saturday afternoon at the 2 on a

Financial group Singapore Women’s Open U Min looking to become the first amateur winner on the kpj tour since 2017 a s seeking a third tour title and Kim jhe looking to leave herself in Pole Position the last day she can call herself a 22y old so many story lines

Percolating and developing at the tanese course this Saturday afternoon in thankfully Sunny Singapore e e e e e so second shot from the top of the hill here at 11 for Park door start this right of the TV tower work it off that slope oh look

Like she got stuck on her back foot there her Trail leg quite get the transition of weight that she needed through the shot still not too bad coming in with a a mid eye not too disappointed with a shot like that or result like that I should say

Now I can’t actually see the top of the flag stick from where she is Kim jhe got relief off the cart path the angle’s okay for her to this right flag there’s not too much rough left of 11 so doesn’t have to worry about a a flyer

Lie or a slow lie could just play a standard yardage here try to carry this maybe half of the way between the front edge and the pin pitch really soft kicked into that up slope still not bad Mighty big thrash for binil just a little unlucky that ball sticking in the

First cut of rough and it’s and N all down ever so slightly so just got to be aware of this one coming out a bit hot protected against the flyer maybe a little bit too much three outside opportunities await finals re second playing of this Hana Financial Group Singapore Women’s

Open one Singaporean did make the halfway cut Chen Shing Tong delightful round of golf yesterday unfortunately sing Tong struggling today as is Yin here at 12 one foot in that sort of annoying pot bunker about 120 yards from the green so tough to judge now that Ball’s

Going to come out not quite sure where that’s ended up some people call that bunker annoying I’d just like to say it’s well placed right in the landing zone for most of the players this week so shinil will be first to go at 11 a lot of players leave it short from

This side of the green not function still really good part great attempt s chin I was mentioning a little bit earlier on 66 yesterday for the 15year old Singaporean unfortunately falling up with a 77 today to leave her back at one over for the tournament now tavat tanate at the par for

13th pin today cut in the back section of the green so coming out of the rough shouldn’t be too much of a B for Patty oh at least a club shot there for tavatanakit she pitched that maybe five six yards on it catches that down slope

And trundles on to the back pin now out of the right R for uin staring right down the throat of this screen can get aggressive sounded like that might have come off the club face a little high but she can do no wrong right now this teenager it’s another St approach shot

She’s got that for a 12th birdie of the week that would move her into the solo lead what a week in Singapore it’s turning out to be for OSU Min an opportunity to get to 12 under first is Kim jhe back on 11 well seen that a few times today good

Line just lacking for pace so this is the green at the par 4 12 and the group of yinin and j s looks like j s is on the dance floor but not exactly where the band is playing again this green is enormous 48 Paces from Front Edge to back Edge

Split up into what you call four different sections unfortunately j s not in the correct section be putting over a little a spine a split in this green that Ball’s going to be traveling uphill for the first 15 ft then will start to turn downhill as it funnels its way to

This left pin position from this range with this much slope to negotiate just looking to work this one into about a 3ft circle that would be a good result just about there joh some too much going her way today she’s one over the card despite a pair of birdies in the front

Line now park toen with this left to rer just a little right all the way forart still should be a cast iron four it’s a putt that can get away from Patty if she’s not careful being slope to negotiate she works this birdie attempt down the hill towards the pin on

13 asking for that to go it’s going to try okay not bad at all 27th in the Rolex women’s world rankings that’s the 24 year old girl from Bangkok went to college at UCLA in the States now shinil back on the te here at 12 got that little round bunker that

Hang yo Min found earlier on which must be avoided so keep this down the right half for the Fairway if you can bang what she’s swinging the club very nicely indeed and it’s going to wo skirt the left hand side of that bunker and keep on rolling it’s an enormous t-shot from bin

Sil just about 80 yards from the pin but this now for OSU Min to hit the summit of the leaderboard all by herself she had the solo lead briefly on the front nine she’s got it on the back nine a fourth unanswered birdie of the

Day a 12th of the week and a 15-year-old South Korean amiter leads the second Hannah Financial Group Singapore Women’s Open don’t think that Bunker’s in range for Kim jhe so she can pretty much whale away at this t- shot with Reckless abandon pitches on the down slope should

Feed on just sit short of that bunker okay perfect he’s just picking up a little bit for Park D again sort of blind t- shot really come up and over this dip in the Fairway just picking out a tree or a a alignments Post in the distance sending it down there but it’s

A generous Fairway everything does collap Le down towards that little Fairway bunker three excellent t- shots for your final group at the 12 so championship leader U Min is reach the par 34th just has to be wary of that bunker short of the green anything longer this pin’s

Fine solid t-shot there good smart play good look at what faces the players here when you play your approach into 12 if you’ve never played the tanese course before you could be fooled into thinking that that is a diabolical whole location it looks like there’s no green between

The edge of that bunker and the flag but there plenty of options of how you want to use the slopes around this left pin to get that ball close Kim J he’s got a very experienced man on the bag for her be talking through a lot of her

Shots with her caddy Kim dongyong who’s formerly caddied for current career Korean number one Leo one and former two-time major champion on the Korean tour park Yun kyung he’s got himself a good bag these days with Kim jhe they have been a great team see if they’ve done their numbers right here

Oh you bet they have excellent shot there for Kim J Who’s just kind of been stuck in neutral not doing anything wrong but hasn’t had a great deal going right for her since she reeled off those three straight birdies on the front nine now to Patty T who’s now chasing

Trailing her playing partner by too she’s got the height to be able to try and attack this front pin oh brilliant takes a brave shot to try and Pitch it there he giving herself a look so follow that one in park do Yun go up that slope it’ll come

Back two pretty good shots into 12 already Bangin Sills still to come now at the home Hall Jong Yin G looking to put the shine on what has been a very fruitful outing at the tanese course this Saturday she just short of the green there at 18

It’s a pretty severely pitched slope I hope that hasn’t rolled a good 20 yards back off the front you can see the severity of that false front from this angle saan Jung that’s better just a little long gives itself an outside look from about 20

Ft now bankin s just a tiny flick of a lob wedge left into to the 12th really needs to get this one close okay not her best effort but still a decent look for birdie so the 15-year-old o suin leads the way by one over bin Sil and Kim jhe

Jong Yun putting together a great round she’s 5 under on the day and level in fourth with Patty tavatanakit here on day two at the Singapore Women’s Open e e e e e she would have expected this to be a little bit closer than it is but nonetheless a birdie look for Bangin

Sill at 12 oh just squeezes the right in of the cup just joining us what a leaderboard we have at the Singapore Women’s Open The Amateur osum Min leads shinal and jhe just a shot behind jhe with a chance to join oh at the top of

The leaderboard Jung Yun G on her final Hall hatti tatan that 10 underp pass shot further back as Swang M good t- shot at 13 really got to be brave and try and throw it all all the way back to this left flag especially coming out of the

Fairway got to take these chances when they’re presented to you well done good shot there Yom Min hasn’t dropped a shot today but she’s only got the one birdie coming back at the par 58 par to to climb into a share of fourth downhill move from left to right

Okay okay and that moves her to 10 underpar well done Park Owen bounces back nicely after that bogey to start her back nine short of the Green isy in the bunker at the 18th barely see the top of her cap for Jung Yun G she is in that

Bunker only Five Paces of green to work with that’s not bad about 8 ft Rec go around to 67 on moving day so go back into a share of the lead with o Su min just carried a little too much speed there for Kim J he it’s a great try not this

Time now to your leader looking to extend her Advantage this is a birdie look for OSU Min at 14 bit of a misre there but good Pace means she should walk off with the par three s y Jung at the last downhill Sling from left to right to go

Into the weekend or Sunday I should say at 10 under and I would that was a poorly red partt goodness me she’s missed that a good 3 ft left these greens at tanira Country Club can make you look a little foolish at times T tanit t- shot here pin High Alpha

Birdie not to be t- shot at the 13th now needless to say you don’t want to start your ball too far right lots of room left here start this between those two bunkers in the distance for Park doen so for a 67 Jung and G Papa put at the

18th oh well done hard work in the end but at the end of the day I think she can be very proud of her efforts this Saturday Yin go into the final round at 10 underp power how far back is that going to be once all is said and

Done as we go back to bang shinil at 13 with her length she’s got less she’s got a slightly more narrow are of the Fairway to hit into she’s got to look right of that last Fairway bunker take it over a chunk of the penalty

Area oh that is miles up there from the 20-year-old who really does play some Fearless golf don’t imagine it’s going to be the same line off the te for Kim J Hees he’ll look out to the left here at the 13th saw and jump after that rather Wayward birdie

Butt thankfully tid his up well for AAR that’s a good day at the office for saan Jung as well 68 for her nine and Par total through 54 holes at the Singapore Women’s Open good driving Hall this the 15th troubled down the left Fairway bunker on the right Fairway tilts from right to

Left she is swinging very freely there’s OSU min she is driving the ball brilliantly tabat tanit has the option to be able to take it over the right half of that Fairway bunker the bunker itself isn’t going to be an issue it’s only 199 yard to carry it so from the

Ball of osum in the general tilt of this Fairway is from right to left should she’s got to land this almost in the right rough and have it camber and kick back onto the short stuff sounded like that hit the base of a tree but gets a friendly kick and will

End up in perfectly all right position for Patty quango Min after that brave approach into the 13th can she take advantage this now for birdie yes ma’am waited a while for it but that’s a second birdie of the day and it’s one that takes hango Min into the group at

10 under par within two shots of your Championship leader see what park has to deal with here today 13th is 30 Paces the front edge you carry this sort of 20 Paces on and just have it feed down off that down slope get another hole it’s cutting little bit of

A ball today so accessible if you’ve got a good number missed that down slope completely at least a club short there for Park up to 14 and hang min only place you don’t want to be to today’s whole location is in that front bunker just a little too safe there

But problems for Quang omin Kim J he Breeze looks like it’s coming straight off the left as the players come into the 13th she get the number right and throw it all the way to this back flag look like she was in between clubs there just try to take something off the longer

One going long here suppose leaves you a slightly easier up and down than coming up shortly she’s pitching back up the hill shin getting just a little sort of feeling wedge left in for Bank you’re coming in with a sort of half shot really hard to have enough zip

And speed at the bottom of your swing to try and get more spin on it as a result that just unable to grab and release it g now Patty tavatanakit after that 42 break off the tree route second into 15 balls above her feet playing to this elevated green

Unlucky took a big first kick again not the worst spot to miss there long on the 15th that was an enormous drive from U Min being in the left half of this Fairway just opens up the angle a little bit to this back flag just got to make

Sure you carry it onto that TOP Step your six Pac is short it’s going to feed back down towards the front of the green the mood that she’s in I won’t be surprised if this is straight at it oh straight at it it’s hit the flag everything’s going the way of osum Min

Today she is on some heater and this is some performance that the amateur is putting together look at this again did say she’s an aggressive player she’s clearly feeling it watch this bang off the flag stick probably a little lucky as well didn’t sound like that ball was trying

To grab would have released maybe another 10 15 ft on talk about a player who’s been on a bit of a hot streak today top 40 Amer in the world is osum in second hole has given some players problems this week but not this teenager big Drive excellent approach straight

Over the top of the stick that was to be her first birdie of the day couple of par s including one at the par five fifth great t-shot into the sixth ticklish downhill slider converted with relative for suin did Birdie eight or the par 49 despite having driven the green with her

T- shot had some tree trouble here but was far enough back she hoist a pitching wedge up and over that tree really manufactured a brilliant shot to set up her third birdie of the day that would move her at that point into a threeway tie for the lead

And then at the very next hle downhill slider that never looked like missing she moved to the top of the leaderboard all by herself for the second time today and she’ll have an opportunity to extend that lead in just a couple of moments time sizing up about

A an 8ft birdie putt to come at the 50 meanwhile back on 13 the lady who held a one shot lead coming into the weekend Kim J with a relatively straightforward little Chip Shot here slight uphill light pitching uphill as well can be aggressive with this can think about holding

This gave it a great effort good try from the back of 14 green playing Upp a little tier hango Min this one we move from right to left in the last 10 ft what her lag putting her Pace putting has been really really spot on over the last two days here at the

Tanese course so just missed that Downs slope Park to as a result this is going to be a gradual downhiller for her all the way to the pin and very well judged for Pace that’ll be a good two-part part it keeps Park to one share of fourth

It feels like she’s on a bit of a free rooll this season having secured the 60th and final card of the season last year with a top 10 finish at the SK Telecom Championship now Patty tanit pretty basic little Chip Shot here oh just checked a little on her with

That second bounce it’s not bad got a good pair of hands on her Patty T much has been made about her prodigious length and formidable ball striking but you don’t get to where she’s gotten in the world of golf without a tidy short game which is two shots back for now

Maybe three at the end of this whole V zoom in but Patty tanit certainly well and truly in the picture here in Singapore shinil going to be a slow Pat here for Bank looking from left to right it’s got a chance it’s got a chance in Bang Shin

S returns par to the top of the leaderboard once again again great birdie there for bang moves alongside osum Min for Kim jhe it’s just going to be a patience game game here she is still very very much in the mix just has to remain patient can’t let it feel like

It’s slipping away from her she’s playing good solid golf one under the card today and a string of pars and run of PA that continues for Kim J he now Su in to get her nose out in front again she just can’t miss today can she shinil gets the 12 suin has the

Answer another birdie for o she creeps up to 13 underpar what a battle we’ve got chaping up in front of us heading into Sunday two with the great talents out of South Korea duking it out for this season opening open title shinil just a little long into 14

She’s in hang yo Min country there so hard to get close to a front hole location particularly when it’s downwind just look at that 12 place 11 players I should say and five shots of OSU men’s lead about six of them then three To a brave play player to try to hit a shot like that and she’s pulled it off not going to see many better t- shots than that into 14 today for Park Doan sometimes it’s easy to get sucked into feeling like you must better that especially when you’ve seen such a

Wonderful shot but for Kim J he she would know sensible players just look out a little bit long here in the side of caution I’m sure her caddy Kim dongyong would have reminded her of that just as she’s pulled a club heart in mouth moments and has that

Roll back into the bunker for Kim it’s the one mistakes she really couldn’t afford to make and I think she realizes it maybe not quite the contact she was after there it’s a tantalizing Prospect as we head into the closing stages of Saturday and into what should be an absolutely

Thrilling Final Round Here in Singapore oh bang and Kim one shot separate the three of them at the top of the leaderboard they’re all chasing o who’s reached the 16th T it’s only playing 112 M today but it’s a tantalizingly dangerous front flag this island green don’t want to get this one

Ballooning up in the draft don’t look pleased with it that’s why just a little long sometimes that can happen playing into the gust you just try and shut that club face down end up delofting it it just travels 5 10 yards further well cut out for a two but remaining for osum Min Patty’s got a game that travels quite well around the world that’s what it’s like to play in Breezy conditions but there’s a glaring discrepancy there play the path three this week and one overp trying chip a little n iron into this front flag oh superb distance control real

Classy shot from a classy player the good news for Kim jhe that ball is stayed out of the bunker it’s R back into the second cut of rough so it’s a tufty looking lie much better than being up against the collar of Ruff but still got to play

This with pretty soft grip pressure just want that club head to just drop on the back of the ball land this On The Fringe let the slope do the rest of the work easy to over hit that just making sure that she didn’t leave that stub it into The Fringe now there’s

Work out out for p that’s why you don’t want to be short of 14 be a costly mistake Kim J he John G already done and dusted for day three in the clubhouse at 10 under par at the moment that’s good enough to get her into the penultimate group on

Sunday B in s it’s a birdie putt but she’d be pretty content to walk off with a two putt par here she set that out very high and he used to sit down touch clumsy there from bang so nerve jangling come back required for to stay one shot

Back J just on this angle doesn’t have quite as much right to left as the butts of hang yoin and bang shinil but still needs to look out right of the cup here coming uphill it’s going to be slow so has to make sure she maintains good acceleration through this stroke

That was low low all the way that’s a very clumsy bogey for for your 36 hole leader so got to break this into two separate parts you feel for OSU Min first 20 ft of this part going to be fairly flat Maybe just downhill and once she gets over that dark green section

That’s a bit of a hump that’s a prominent feature in the middle portion of this green once she gets over that hump it’ll really start to gather Pace as it makes its way down to front hole location great Bobby Jones used to say speed is four times more important than

Line there never been more true and over a putt like this first real test of nerve for U Min this third round it’s not bad that’s not exact exctly Stone dead it’s going to be an uncomfortable one left for a championship leader to stay at 13

Under at first a test for her closest pursuer to remain at 12 she’s had a couple of sloppy Bogies already this week bang shinil about the bogey at 4 yesterday she dropped a shot at S as well from out of nowhere and that her first bogey of this third round is going

To drop her back to 11 under hasn’t really been too much going right for hun Lynn today she’s at seven under par playing the 15th one over on her day just coming off a drop shot at the 14th that’ll make her feel better great distance control into the

15th start of the day at 8 under par he’s got that to return to that Mark with three holes to play B in bit awkward here ball well above her feet trying to get to a pin cut on the right hand side of the green and

Downwind just got to be aware of a fly or lie here allowed for it just got a bit of a hot bounce but again not a bad Miss there just through the back so terrific t- shot will it yield a birdie for Park Doan no just never saw that rake to the left

Oh it’s a real shame pull off a brave t- shot like that and just leave with a path three so cross to 16 and tavatanakit with a chance to pile some pressure on your leader this a gentle left to right slider but it is for birdie will stay up she hasn’t hit it

Patty T my goodness not many worse feelings in golf than leaving a birdie putt short in the Jaws ouch just short of the 15th green j s it’s just rolled on a couple of feet more than she would have liked but will have that to remain level for her

Day great t- shot into 14 picked up a birdie there not many twos on the 14th hole this Saturday biggest part of the day so far for osum Min sits too clear of Bangin Sil now for at 16 don’t think she needs to start this one outside the

Hall just want to fall left as it loses pace and a run of 51 straight Holes without a drop shot comes to an end it’s a three p at 16 still manages to smile because she leads by one now the power for 15th here at the tanese course really puts a premium on

Good driving at a 372 M hole 199 yds to carry that Fairway bunker on the right hand side you turn your T-shirt over too much there’s a penalty area that flanks the entire left hand side of this par for the general tilt of this Fairway is from right to left and

Your second shot is going to be played to this elevated two tier green that’s 32 Paces deep with where the pin is today on that back right step you need to carry it at least 2/3 of the way onto the green it’s going to catch a little

Slope and run back down towards the front P looking to take it straight over that rightand bunker you can see the fairways have dried out nicely from how soft they were over the first two days with the huge amounts of rain that the tampones course took on

And full credit to Adrian Tung and his outstanding team of hardworking greens keeping staff the effort that they’ve put in to get this course into the shape it’s in today truly remarkable B now shinil she’s she needs to take this almost on the left edge of those right trees with her

Power looked a little late on that here she saved it at the bottom uh-oh sounded like it clipped some trees where has that come out in the lap of the Gods now for Bangin Sil at the 15th easy to be a little dishearted now if you’re Kim J but she’s still Level

Par on the DAT it’s a bit of a wi of Fairway for a player of J’s length G2 looking out right over that Fairway track off the trees as well has she gotten a good kick can’t quite tell from that camera angle so some tree

Trouble for Kim J and bang shinil at the 15th now to 17 plays into the win just like 16 to have a pit on the T trouble left bunkers right need a good one here try and flight this one down bore it through the breeze she’s always said when she’s on

Song that driver is her greatest asset it has been cooperating over the last four weeks that’s for sure so how does osum Min respond to that first blemish of the week one of a host of great Korean youngsters to be coming out of the amateur programs in South Korea over the last decade

Just watch the transition at the top full TR of the turn watch how fast she fires that left HP to start the downswing generates so much snap and pop Through The Hitting Zone she’s only 15 and pretty wiry but she can get it out there it’s almost

Keeping up with Patty T there on the 17 now across to 18 and park hun kyong coming to the end of her round she’s at 7even under one under on the day has picked up a birdie since the three at the 11th uh she’s got a chance to end her

Round on a high note sitting in share of 14th Place so second shot just go through the back of 15 green this is a makeable chip here play this with dead hands don’t want this ball checking up on you too quickly oh gave it a great try a really

Good try for hang yo Min it’ll be a a solid part for the youngster picked up a first kpg to a title of what you you would assume would be many in a playoff at the daia NBN ladies open last season over eventual Rookie of the Year winner Kim

Minol K Lin terrific approach into 15 to get her back to where she began the weekend good birdie there for San so was playing pinball in the trees right of 15 but it looks like bin Sil has got herself a bit of a break here certainly from that camera angle it

Look like she’s got a gap see if we can get our cameras just behind bang to see exactly what she faces her he so fortunate got a clear path towards the green this now her second shot is that going to stay up no it’s just going to catch that slope I talked

About earlier and work its way away from the pin but safely on the green and two we go there is a gap through some trees for bin Hill the only problem is that Ball’s below her feet looks like she’s on a slight downhill line as well

Which makes that ball want to come out low and she needs to get this one up quick when speed is such an advantage All Things Considered she’s done well there look like Sergio Garcia the 1999 PGA Championship Running Up That Fairway scissors kicking his way to a runner-up

Finish Doan first cut a rough down the left hand side that takes a much hotter kick and we finish up on that top level of the green at 15 amateur leads the way but it’s a pretty bunch of leaderboard here on moving day in Singapore as another plane

Swoops in overhead if you’re wondering why there’s so much air traffic above us Chi International Airport voted best airport in the world once again it’s just a stone throw from the golf course in fact from a couple of holes on the other course here at tamea Country Club

The garden course you literally play alongside the runway now suom in pins cut over that greenside bunker on a little back section she has been dialed in with those irons so impressive and to think she’s not even legally allowed to drive a car yet we have a wonderful talent

Development program in South Korea as they do in Thailand tat tanit can she respond 105 yards to the front edge of the green oh unlucky just got that to grab a little quick pitch on a down slope didn’t quite kick on enough for Patty T Yan on

16t it’s pretty narrow front portion of the green where the pin is today so a lot of players opting to just go a little long that’s okay for Juan as we hit the closing stretch of holes here on Saturday it’s the amateur U Min who leads by one over Bangin sill and by

Two over a quintet of Chasers e e e e e e I would have expected better from Patty tavat tanit this is going to be a fairly brisk putt coming down that slope for birdie at the penultimate hole oh and she gets it wow out of the blue Patty tavatanakit

Cans one from distance to get within one of oh zo men play that one back again little suspect with the wed shot but no mistakes with the pter for Patty no pictures on the scorecard and goal folks so Kim J Heat going be first to go

Coming up this big rise that splits this green into two levels at 15 she’s managed the pace very nicely J he remains at 10 underpart that two put par on the 15th Fang mint’s also at 10 under opportunity to perhaps shave off another shot here just want a slippery

Slider down the slope for birdie at the par three it wasn’t far off good attempt there I have to say with all the moving and shaking on the top of the leaderboard it’s been hard to keep track of where everyone is on the golf course and you know full

Credit to the wonderful team at scoring Solutions who have met us their services this week at the kpg Weston Craig miam and the whole team do a fine job of keeping us a breast of what’s going on out on the golf course how thanks to them here in Singapore little sluggish there from

Park at the 15th she like Kim’s kind of Treading Water this Saturday so to get back to 13 underpar oh Su Min she said all the answers so far this week in Singapore just unflappable look at that come off a three putt on 16 crush a

Drive flick a wedge in close roll it in Easy As You Like It their advantage once again stretched to two function still really not much she could have done from down that low section of the 15th green be content with a two put par after that wayward t-shot

So K Park hun Kung end with a birdie four this is the five time klpga winner on the last should just move a fraction from left to right as it approaches the cup she doesn’t miss this much with the flat stick that’s a nice birdie at the

End for par and Kong four on the day it’s a 200 power round of 70 eight underpath five back and well in golf you’d like to think anyone within five shots of the lead going into the final round still hypothetically has a chance much depends on what OSU Min does

At this closing par five but he’ll be tavatanakit with the honor couple of bunkers down the right a good aiming point you tug this t-shot left it’s going to be wet easy to lose this out to the right to avoid that penalty area and well she’s just going to stay

Out of the last of those bunkers for players like tavat tanid and bang this 18th hole can be a big Advantage brave enough to hit that high slinging draw you get a good kick in the Fairway reaching this par five and two certainly an option and from what we’ve

Seen OSU Min can shift it out there as well she take the brave line off this T General tilt of this Fairway is from right to left towards the penalty area certainly left nothing behind with that t- shot throw everything at it and that’s a

Huge drive for w Su in it’s going to be a bit of a hanging lie for her but the green certainly reachable into just going to have to get used to the camera being on you Su in going to see a lot of this young

Player in the years to come now back on 16 shinil holding one one recorder on this Hall this week win a beautiful duana mattress those things are awfully expensive but they sure are comfortable can’t afford one in my house though having said that t- shot there for

Bank signature hole here at the tanese course not the longest out there in fact the shortest of the four par threes this week but when the wind gets up it’ll get your attention just be a smooth wedge or maybe even a chip nine for kid J he just a little long but again

Understandably so that’s okay safely aboard now up to 17 and hang yo Min seen a couple birdies on this hole already from the group ahead get it in that back left pocket it should feed close to this pin well done pair of good shots there remember almost won the Korean women’s

Open as an amateur two years ago EV finishing a share of fourth at Rainbow Hills that week up to the last and roong haven’t seen much of her today four birdies on the card one drop shot at 15 this for a closing birdie in a round of

68 is it going to come back it’s going to try it’s in for Ros yongi snaking it in at the last a birdie birdie finish she’s going to join Jung Yun G at 10 underpath through three rounds I think she can get home in two she’s got a Hybrid Club out

So maybe just playing for positioning oh dear she caught that one heavy there’s no other word for it it was a r smile that came off her face I think she just straight up fatted that one for a player who really hasn’t missed a shot all day long that one’s

Come out of left field accidentally good layup from your Championship leader now back to 16 and your 36o leader with this birdie putt of putting between two Mounds here so it’s almost like putting down a little Valley left to right to start and then back towards her left as it gets to

The cup working downhill all the way okay good for Pace there solid two par keeps her at 10 under did see a hole in one on this whole in the noral edition of the Singapore Women’s Open Tiffany Chan from Hong Kong acing this hole in the early morning

Wave on the Thursday or the Friday you should say and remarkably despite the fact there was Alexus sitting out there it wasn’t the whole in one prize D saw this from Pang Min earlier left to right downhill but sort of flattens out at the end not quite as Speedy as players

Think good attempt there just drifts by on the high side imagine Tiffany Chad is going to be striding around the fairways of her home course the venerable Hong Kong Golf Club where the Liv Golf League make their fourth stop of the Year this week Abraham aner leading by five going into tomorrow’s final Round suin after that should we call it interesting second shot into the last with a little bit more Club in hand than she would have liked still the great control she’s had of her golf game today you’d expect this one to be no worse than 15 ft

Away p c on the front right hand corner of the green ample room long they want to come up short there a pretty deep bunker that guards the front section of this green she dialed in or what another Stellar iron shot from OSU Min and she’ll have

That for a closing birdie and should that drop that’ll be round of 66 the low round of the day at first at 16 Bangin Sil outside chance to have the deficit at the top half a roll away for bang for the third player of this group

In the green scared it’s just been a bit of a struggle for lisu Jin 3 of a part of the turn she’s dropped five shots on the back line to leave herself back at two underpar for the championship well Patty two big hits second shot being played out of

That right R so just short of the Green in two it’s a of an awkward distance she’s left herself sort of a not even a half wedge a quarter wedge here Club face wide open trying to release that right hand under the ball get as much zip as you can

Unfortunately just dug the Leading Edge in there that’s going to get rejected by the slope short of the green times of that front Flags to question the decision to try and get us close up to that green as possible I’d rather be going in with a a

Full wedge like U Min try to play a little 40 yd pitch shot to a tight front flag now back on 17 Park D fairway safely found there on the par for Shinu exception of the t-shot on 15 she’s been driving it well throughout the course of the

Week doesn’t seem too trouble with that I’m sure someone down the Fairway would have been able to figure out where that ended up so we go up to the green and quango Min for birdie just comes down the hill here maybe feeds right as it gets to the hole still pretty

Straight just a little unlucky there there’s a well played hole but it’s only a par for well come on Sujin let’s try and get up and down and on a positive note oh goodness and that is just a rotten bit of luck for Lee Sujin 3 platters into the flags it gets

Rejected and sometimes all you can do is smile it’s a cruel game this Kim to round things out for the final group on 17 driven the ball nicely today Kim J he only missed two Fairways it hasn’t had too much to show for it just level par for the third

Round so Patty tatan it take two still with the same sort of shot to play if she try to fire it into the slope we play this with Loft maybe caught in between two mines there and unfortunately she’s making a bit of a mess of this closing par five

And if that doesn’t go in she is not going to be in the final group come Sunday and it really makes such a huge difference be able to stare down the leader for all 18 holes as we look back down the 17th you see that pin tucked on

The left corner of the green behind that bunker imagine it would be Kim J he first to go will be par doen certainly not going to be Bangin Sil with her speed and distance he going to be par on the left side of the Fairway see there five players tied at 10 under

See that flag just over that left trap that Ridge that funnels ball towards that whole location where she’s standing in the bunker is sort of in line with the right edge of that greenside bunker so she doesn’t want this ball to be any further right and the right edge of that

Trap you can see it there just over the grass finger of the bunker would be a good line got to make sure you cover its full number this could be in the sand oh superb shot excellent shot from bark Doan really he played that to Perfection hit her number got the

Release she’ll have about 4T for bird Patty for a par on 18 just drifts a little right as it loses Pace never really hit with enough conviction and that’s going to leave a sour taste in the mouth of the tie only drop shot of the day comes at

The par 518th and she slides back into the group it 10 underpar and out of the final three bow for tomorrow’s final round well he couldn’t have drawn up a better mental picture than paro’s second shot see if Kim J he can replicate carried it just a little bit further on

But that’ll get some help off the back stop okay pretty good shot from Kim it’s actually the left rough bung Shin Sil going to have limited spin control on this but when you’re only coming in with a gap wedge you can get it to stop on a dime terrific shot from

Bang she’s thinking birdie birdie finish but uin does a hit on 18 is out of her control she’s giv herself a chance for one at the 17 suin still with a look to come at the 18th to get to 14 underp power she currently leads by two over Bang shinil e e e

E e birdie put now Kim jhe at 17 just a bit of left to right in this didn’t read enough of it so can she end her Round In Style osum in for a seventh birdie of the day to post 14 un par and she’s done

It well what was her state of mind after the three part on 16 birdies on 17 and 18 an inward half of 32 and U Min will take the lead into the final round of the Hana Financial Group Singapore Women’s Open what a display from the 15-year-old South Korean EMP

Bin s back at 17 could dropped that deficit to just two again well hold it’s going to be a real battle with 18 to play tomorrow shinil within two 5 five 18th to come really what a performance from OSU Min only dropped one shot in 5 four

Holes here at the tanes course eight birdies through her first two days seven already today par is in a position that should she pop this one in nothing too crazy happens up the last she could be in the final group for the second straight day just wants to wander right at the

Cup so this will have to to be hit with good Pace even though it’s slightly downhill it be too much peace that’s really unlucky such a fine shot to give herself that opportunity gets nothing for it go up to the last and John S level on

The day one under for this nine though after turning in 37 thir shot now coming in out of the rough going to have a ton of spin on this she’s manufactured a pretty fine shot back of the T Bangin you can see that trouble on the left I was talking about

With her length you want to be left of those two right hand bunkers he been Swinging with great Rhythm bin silk just going to catch the right R so unlikely she’s going to be able to reach in two now this is really where you want to

Be for your third shot middle of the Fairy full wedge in hand for hunin as a result lot more spin control good shot there for hun D looking a little bit further right than shinil you can take it at the first of those two traps think she’s going to be able to reach

Those 240 yards to them’ll get a nice kick and release on The Fairway shut down the left hand side if she could somehow find a way to birdy this 18th hle should be able to take some good positives out of her round today she’s hung tough hasn’t really had her

Best she’s still in with a shout here in Singapore y Min not the best of angles here coming out of the right rough and the short sided side of the hall he has to open up that club face wide try and toss this in as high as possible it’s like a long flop

Shot you can always see just bailing out making sure that one cleared the front edge of the green it’s really about the angles trying to get to some of these pins at the tanes course just because you’re only 7 yards away doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed sticking it

Close I don’t think Mar min’s lost her turn yet I do hope they move the te’s up here on 18 for the final round tomorrow really making it exciting turn this into a reachable par five much like they did with the ninth hole today just give the players the the option the

Opportunity go for the green have Eagle chances a couple of straightforward birdie looks but spray a little bit wide easy to rack up a number great setting here almost a natural Ampitheater from the clubhouse back down towards this 18th hle was going to be making the walk off here in 24 hours

Time the second Singapore Women’s Open crown from this angle H’s going to be coming downhill slightly should want to move from right to left a bit at the start and then sort of Peel back right and it gets to the end so be more left to right in this than right to

Left gos to the left and then it should start to work its way back right decent pace on that for on the Old Mint that left for a two underpar round of 70 remember began the week with a rather disappointing 73 but came to life yesterday 10 birdies and a 63 for hang

So she has it in her to make birdies in bunches s the lone kpg to her title back at the ever collagen Queen’s Crown in a playoff back in 2021 runner up at the L went toart ladies open to leo1 the beginning of last year for birdie right to left and then

Straightens up at the cup not to be have to say she’s right on the fringes of contention she’ll need something special on Sunday Kim jhe the top right half of the Fairway it’s going to be a much flatter lie than her playing Partners down the middle there’s a pretty severe tilt to

This 18th Fairway towards the water really she wants to sort of hit this towards the big scoreboard in the distance it’s that left green side bunker just short of it that would be the ideal place to leave this sort of inside of 100 yards just past the cart

Path to the best angle and yardage to try to stick it close to this flag she spun out of a couple of shots today doesn’t appear to be any harm done there of course that’s provided it stays in the Fairway up on the green y say Lin oh

Denied it was a Ninth Place finish last time out to Singapore in the Singapore Women’s Open she currently sits in a share of 9th 22y old will start the final round five shots a drift U min’s lead Min tides that one up should be a shot closer after a 200 under power

Round of 70 tidy scorecard no Drop shots for the the 20-year-old Wang back down the Fairway for p Doan sometimes they better off with that first cutter off it’s almost like that ball sitting on a TEEG leaks that one out a a fraction right just like Kim J he

Steady par at the last for Jour no ground gained with a round of level par 72 just outside the top 10 as she’s end in her card this Saturday evening bin s has waited for the green to clear eventually just opting to lay this one up that’s just an eyon for

Bank should leave her nice full yardage for her third shot into this 18th and coming out of the Fairway will’ll be able to get much more spin into this front pin which just got close to that big slope that caught out Patty tatan get short of the green and that deep

Greenside bunker as well that bunker that’s just in front of hers 100 yards to the front edge of the green looks like she’s a good 15 yards short of that so we’ll need to pitch this right around the 120 125 Mark don’t come up short here excellent really good distance control

There from B shinil it’s just ventured into the first cut of rough by the looks of things from Park Doan so like shinil just has to make sure she takes that front slope out of play a little bit Long’s okay she’s played some Brave shots on

This back now I think about that t-shot into 14 that’s a pretty brave one to pitch it on the front edge there at the last he deserves a birdie she’s had her chances on this backside Kim J he just avoiding that bunker just avoiding some divots as well

Got some good elevation on that and best of the lot from Kim J he so three final birdie looks for the last three players on the golf course this Saturday evening in Singapore what a day three it’s been here at the Hana Financial Group Singapore Women’s Open thankfully the weather has finally

Cooperated had quite a number of players come back to the golf course at 7:30 this morning for the restart of day two Baku and Kong actually at 10 holes to complete 7:30 this morning got everyone safely into the clubhouse cut was made 68 players progressing through to the

Weekend one overow was the cut Mark unfortunately only one Singaporean making that cut the 15-year-old amateur chensing Tong at the back of a 66 she came with five birdies after she came back to the golf course this morning fortunately she would fall to a round of 77 today but the signs are good

That the golf program at the Singapore Golf Association have worked so hard to rebuild over the last couple of years starting to reap some rewards s Tong was a member of the junior development Squad now now onto the national squad the high performance Squad as it were and she’s

Putting some good results together so onwards it upwards for Singapore’s Chen sing Tong the only local player to make the halfway cut here at the Singapore women’s open again massive kudos to the hardworking team at tanira Country Club and particularly the Singapore Golf Association whove put on a a wonderful

Week despite the many challenges that the weather has presented throughout this Championship it’s good to see we’re back on schedule to get day three completed on time and with some thunderstorms forecast for the afternoon tomorrow expect to see the tea times shifted up slightly so we can get Sunday done without any further

Interruptions Lord knows we’ve already had three this week okay back to the business of golf and Bangin Sil for a closing birdie as the breeze starts to pick up this would leave her just one behind with 18 to play just a little pacy through the break there for

Bang it’s going to be at least a two shot cushion for OSU Min heading into Sunday couple of Birdie looks here for Park door and Kim J heat and one of these drop they’re going to be in the final group alongside shinil and Su Min tomorrow pans really deserves for this

To go in she’s had quite a few opportunities and squandered them all on this backs side and unfortunately that putter remains ice cold for Park very disappointed with the way that that club’s behave still it’s a round of one under par 71 60th on the money list last

Season and she’s running in a tie for third in the first event of 2024 J he player that is growing in confidence coming off a career year in 2023 on the klpga tour just over 428 million Korean one collected in a season that saw her finish 23rd on the money

List love for her to end with the birdie four here they po a spot in the final group on Sunday never in doubt Kim jhe will spend her 23rd birthday in the company of bang shinil and o suin that’s your final group for this Sunday at the Singapore Women’s Open

Great closing birdie there for the overnight leader it’s a round of 71 for Kim jhe now we settle in for what is hopefully final stroke in what has been a captivating Saturday afternoon the tempane course oh Cy a three putt to end the day for Bang Shin

Sil she’s still going to be in that final group but it’s going to be a three shot spread for U Min much like Patty tavatanakit that bogey on the 18th is going to leave a bit of a sour taste in the mouth of the 20-year-old Bangin s still it’s a round

Of 200 70 for her she’ll be out the company of Kim jhe once again tomorrow morning so that’s it back on schedule all 68 players have completed their third rounds and it’s a 15-year-old that lead needs the way so why don’t we reflect and look back on some of the many

Highlights of what was a captivating day of golf at tanira we’ll start with U Min the only player in this field that was bogey free coming into the weekend she wasted no time in collecting the birdies that’s a delightful approach into the difficult par for second leading to a

Birdie she was playing in the company of Patty tavanic kid who waited just one more hole to open her birdie account for the day at the par 3 sixth easiest flag of the three days in that little Hollow U Min collect a second birdie after a nicely placed t- shot

Holding that slippery one then at the driveable par 49th Patty tavatanakit found the greenside bunker off the te and really conjured up a magnificent Splash out of the sand and roll that one in Center cup to get herself to 10 under power with a front nine of

34 Bangin s playing in the final group hit a t-shot just over the back of the green got up and down for a birdie of her own to move into a share of the lead with Kim jhe then as we hit the back nine noos Su Min would hit the

Afterburners a birdie after a t- shot found some trouble played a miraculous shot up and over the trees and that got her into a three-way tie at the top and she wouldn’t stay in a share of the lead for long a birdie on the very next hole

Saw her hit the summit one shot clear and at the very same Hall bin s was left wanting with a bit of a clumsy approach I think you’ll agree that this birdie butt more than made up for it back into a share of the lead with u Min after that birdie from

Bang and at the power 4 15th a colossal t-shot from the teenager only left a little wedge into this and watch this oh off the flag stick it wouldn’t drop for an eagle too but she roll this one in for yet another birdie and once again moved one

Clear at 17th just coming off a three part at the 16th you wouldn’t know it seeing how she played the hole striped a t- shot stuck a wedging close and roll that one in with confidence and then at the 18th she would end in some style the seventh

Birdie of the day round of 66 and U Min leads the Singapore Women’s Open by three shots with just 18 holes to play looking to become the first amateur to win a klpga tour title since Choy herin did it back in 20 2017 it’s the teenager

Up top through 3 days at tanira but there’s still so much to play for it Anything could happen on Championship Sunday it’s been wonderful having your company throughout the course of this Saturday look forward to more of the same tomorrow afternoon until then this is Timothy L saying have a lovely

Evening and we’ll see you tomorrow at tanira bye-bye for now Foree For e e
