all had birdie parts at the second. And how about that for a nerve settler for Minami Katson? What a very nice way to start there on the par three second not dropping in her first birdie of the day. The Kamji Lee match Minami Katsis too. Yes, she can. And we’ve seen a lot of birdies already today on this second hole. The American looking for her first victory. Good putt there. Well done. Having a best ever season on the LPJ tour. Schmeisel here on the fifth and a delightful shot. Pin sinking. Early birdie on the car for Mu Yashton. Looks like she might have lost this a little right, but only a little. Only a little. And the slopes helping it get a little bit closer. Sonny Lee now. This for par. Four shots behind. Going to have to make a few of these today. Nine iron. Play it middle of the green. Yeah. And you could just see there the difference in the in the lie. Just getting a much better strike on it. Gina Titakin there and just using the back stop coming back a little bit. 121 yds wedge. Even a bad shots are good. Lindy Duncan second shot to the fifth. We’ve seen a few good ones in here. Can we see another? We certainly can. Wow. Well, I don’t think even she can see the ball. And she’s done spectacularly well. It feels downhill, but it’s actually slightly up at the end. Yeah, that’s falling short as well. My goodness, we’ve seen that so many times this week. Well, here is the first of them. Four. Three pass to start for Somi Lee. Wow. That could change right here. Good shot there. Nothing but net for Gino Titakun. Well, three good looks at birdie at this par five, but no one in this group able to walk off with the birdie four. Jenny Shin now in the fifth. Oh, and well done. She bounced back well after a poor second kind of second round. One of the silky smoothest putters on the circuit. And that’s why Katsu has exactly the same yardage as she did on the third hole. 121 wedge. Would like the same outcome. [Applause] She did get the same outcome, Gino. A couple of yards closer. 48° wedge. There is a back stop. You can use it. [Music] Didn’t need it [Applause] from the left hand side. First cut of semi. 105 yds for Menile. [Music] Very accessible pin we’ve seen today. Such a nice compact swing and a nice result to boot. Yeah, solid some start for Minami Katsu right center. Well done. And another week, another week in contention when isn’t she? Gino titan. Oh, come on. No way. It cannot sit there and have a holiday. She needed the vibration from that plane going over just to knock it in. Oh my goodness, that is close. We need to have another look at that. Oh, she’s given up on it. You can see the ball grabbing quite a lot of soil there, so making it harder to dribble back towards the pin. Anything right, we’ll hit into the ups slope. Yeah, this is go zone and she is right in there with it. Tremendous shot. Slightly below Mi’s feet here. She’s got 97 pin [Applause] for Somi Lee trying to get to this back flag. Yeah, done pretty well. Ena Y we saw here. If she finishes top 10, she gets another two elite points, which is the elite amateur pathway to the LPJ tour, which is how Lotty W got on to tour. She’s got two last week for winning the world amateur team championship. Another two this week, obviously. Yeah, they need to get they need to get to 20, but she doesn’t want to get rid of it. Loves this from right to left for Birdie. All in the T-shot there. Finding the rough and a lot harder to get the ball to stop. Easy. Easy as that. Top notch from Titakun. Here she comes. This young lady, Minami Katsu, six iron from 170 yards. [Music] asking for it to go in English. Yeah, she does speak English. Well, her caddy is Scottish, so she’s got to speak a few words of pin 31 on. Wants to keep it down that left side. See if she can get a kick off the bank. One of the best shots we’ve seen into the six screen. And it’s a good number for her. Well, our proximity to the hole so far has been excellent. Good shot there. Pin high. Wonderful sights, sounds as she delivered 12 months ago. Here she is at 16. We heard a lot of those rules a year ago. Gets to eight under par. close to one of the two major airports in Shanghai here. [Applause] And she has indeed gone straight out there with her gap wedge. Manufacture one. She’s opted not for the lob wedge, but for the gap wedge. Shoulderto-shoulder swing. Delicious. Superb from Gino Titan. And the gap. Well, she made a lovely up and down at the last Katsu from length this time at eight. And she is outside her playing partner. So, and here we go. Yamashta on the 10th. Nice front left pin position. You know what happened on the eighth? This one’s going to scare the pin. She scared the pin every time with a wedge in hand this morning. Chess rotation here. Lob wedge. Very well controlled. She made up and down on eight yards. looking at landing this 51 going scared the hole. Here she is. Ace iron from 139 yds. I’ll tell you what, she is going to win if she carries on playing like this. I wonder if Miley is going to try and step on this nine iron. Oh, anything you can do, I can do better. Well, they know that. So, this one will be a 3/4 follow through. Well, it looks like ordinary, doesn’t it, in comparison? Rookie season. Yeah. on the long par 412. Oh, and she’s judged that well. What a fantastic shot. Getting better all the time. Well, Yamasha has shown us how you do it. Clear that bunker and let it release. Pretty nicely done there from Somi Lee, including Jeannie Shin. Can you dart one in there? A low spinner. Wow, she nearly darted into the hole. Tremendous effort. Funnel pin here on the 12th. Play slightly up the hill. 79 from 153 yds. Oh, it’s another beauty from Yamash from Minami Katsu. Getting better all the time. Another good look for Birdie. She’s coming good. Little bit more work than she would have liked. Caught that a little heavy. It’s quite an unknown shot. Oh, look at that. That is a touch. The way Katrina, she hovered the club there. She’ll be walking to this 13th hole with her tail up. Somi Lee had a chance to get one close. Very much a birdie hole. Forced into a layup on this hole every time. That bunker right smack bang in the middle of the fairway. And just wow. She’s just hit the wrong spot of the green there. Shoe up at the green. Outside chance. Yeah. got this to tie her amateur Chinese compatriots. Yes. And she has. So there they are. Both the Chinese amateurs tied for 10th. Men Lee. Had to splash out from the fairway bunker. So this is her third from 161 yards. Come on down. [Applause] Nicely done using that slope on the right hand side. Opening up the blade. It’s a splash shot. Nearly slam dunk. I think that was the only way she was going to stop it. There lies. Fantastic. [Applause] Well, we this is a big moment. This is over at 18 to try and finish at 11 under par for Xiao Yin. Yes, well done. Another Chinese teenager that is impressed. 15 going up to this elevated green. The pins just on the front right. Big big green this 15th. just manages to squeak that onto the green. 113 yds. This is a gripped 50 degree wedge because you don’t want to be short of this pin. Well, she has got one hand on the trophy right now. She was done and dusted. This is 104 yards. Lovely response though from Titaken. Well, that’s what she’s got to do. She’s got to get inside Gin Choy at the final hole. This has got a chance. This has got a chance. What a lovely way to finish the week. Round of 68. Leave it just outside the top 10. So, hit this one firm. Lji if he could. Yeah, it’s been a tough time for Miley Lee really over the last hour or so. Yeah. Meanwhile, Sumi Lee on the 15th. You can see that pin way over on the right hand side of this large wide green. Nicely played. These greens are certainly a feature, aren’t they? There is a title on the line for the leading amateur. Ying Shu would love her name on it. [Applause] That one’s going to help. She’s very tall and she nearly blocked the whole pin there. It’s like faults front. Wants to play left of this flag. Another good shot there from Katsu. Putting the pressure right back on Titaken. She’s got 138 yds. Trying to work one off Katsu’s golf ball. Very nicely down. devilishly fast this one. She’s got the log wedge out for some spin and she’s done it. Gino Pitakun has chipped in for Birdie. Yeah, the pins right in the back today on the 18th. 35 yds on. He’s in a bit of a bowl. If you can get it over the ridge, it all kicks down. Oh, just go straight at it. That’s a lovely way to finish, isn’t it? applying the pressure, producing the goods and things are tightening up here in Shanghai. This is also a time. It’s another beauty. Good job. The 17th hole. She had to chip out from the bunker. This is a long way in for her third. Go on. Go on. That is incredible from back there. Playing 230. [Music] Oh, that would have looked all over it. It’s just gone a little long onto the back portion of the screen. A nice little citer for Gino. It’s a great look at it. Looking to draw one in there. [Applause] Sit. Sit down. It’s jaw-dropping golf from Gino. An eagle chance all of a sudden. Now a chip and run here off the back foot. Hands forward. Needs to scare the hole. Oh, she has. Unbelievable. Just when the gap was closing, Minanu produces something extremely special. [Music] [Applause] Are you not entertained? Even Minami is applauding. We are tied heading to 18. What a run from Gino Titan. Everything should release towards it and stay right of that pin if you can. You can see that big pivot. She dug down to get that one. on a very nice shot there. That was a little unlucky. Just caught the down slope and a big bounce trying to get closer. [Applause] Not this time. It’s just wandered on a little bit. [Applause] She’s going to tap in here. The first in the clubhouse at 24 under park at the TV tower in the distance is the line driver. And she likes that one. Quickly down picking up the tea. And that’s perfect. And that’s a long way down. A nice little draw off that bunker on the right hand side. Yeah, much better angle than one she gave herself in regulation. [Music] perfect. Just a little shorter with hitting the 3-wood. She’ll be first to play. Oh, that’s going to come in round off the slope a little bit. Very nicely played from Git Tuten. [Music] Asking for it to go. Slight advantage. I was thinking about the pup she hold here on Friday across the green for around 61. Not this time. And now [Applause] just kind of edged back up the hill. It looked okay. Off we go again. Hole halved in force. Decent T-shots downwind off the right. Drivers of play for Katsu again. And perfect again. No one’s done it yet, but you’d have thought. Third time lucky for one of these players. Not sure. She’s watching that one a little closely. Oh, the penalty here. She’s got the advantage. The slopes in the green will help it coming from right to left. She can catch though. Oh, how about this? Sensational from Gino Chitka. Yeah, maybe felt she just had to be a little more aggressive. Doesn’t like it. [Applause] Well, it’s not that bad. [Applause] Well, you don’t get much closer than that. Hanging by the hole. That was a fantastic effort. A bit like Gino Titakans in the first playoff. They just think they’re going to turn in and they don’t. What a par that is from Gino Chitik. Found the Walter. Not a problem. Heading for a third playoff. Another good one. Quickly picks up the tea down there in the middle. Just about in the same spot she’s been. Remember, wet off the tea. The last time she played this 18th hole down the left hand side. So, needs to put that out of her head. Yeah, a little more satisfying this time around. Yeah, that’ll do very nicely. That’s what she was looking for. maybe wanted a little bit of release from it, but it’s a nine eye. [Music] Doesn’t like it. [Applause] Well, that’s a big break. And that’s down into that spot we’ve seen Katsu hit two putts from. [Applause] perhaps had the line that time but not the speed. So just another par for Gino Titan. So, we’re off to 10 again. And if you’re wondering, left to right win 255 to the bonkers. Yeah, that’ll do nicely. Better this time from Gino Titan, not having to come out of the rough. That’ll make things a lot easier. Go hard. Go hard, says Johnny. It’s come up short. Can get hold of it. Oh, the moment cover the front and let it release to the hole. [Music] Well, it was a good effort, but it will be no better than par. She’s done it after all the recent heartache. This time, Gino Titan wins again and the streak is over. The first twotime winner on the LPGA tour this season. You feel for Minukatu, but congratulations, Gino Titan. You do indeed. Congratulations [Applause] her fellow Thai players show ringer and champagne.
