Miyu Yamashita Leads the Women’s British Open, but the Pressure Mounts
In a day marked by difficulty on the Royal Porthcawl course, Miyu Yamashita managed to maintain the lead at the Women’s British Open, albeit with a reduced margin. The Japanese golfer, who started the third round with a three-stroke lead, had a complicated performance, which allowed her competitors to get closer in the standings. Yamashita, despite not finding the fairway in the last eleven holes, demonstrated his composure by staying on top. A crucial putt from a bunker on the 17th hole and a failed birdie attempt on the final hole marked his day, finishing with a cumulative score of 9 under par, 207 strokes.A Lim Kim, with an impressive round of 67 strokes, positioned herself just one stroke behind Yamashita, generating expectations for the final round. Kim, winner of the U.S. Women’s Open in 2020, will seek her second major title. Competition intensifies with the presence of Charley Hull, who, with an outstanding round of 66 strokes, is three strokes behind the leader. Andrea Lee, with 67 strokes, and Megan Khang, with 68, also remain in the fight.Today I will analyze what went well and what went wrong to improve my game tomorrow.

The pressure will be on Yamashita, but Lee and other competitors are ready to seize any opportunity. The tournament promises an exciting finish with multiple contenders with chances of victory. The final round of the Women’s British Open is shaping up to be a key match, with several players vying for the championship. Yamashita’s consistency in the short game and Kim’s performance will be determining factors.I prefer playing chasing. It’s more fun.
