Competition at the Women’s British Open is more open than ever. Charley Hull, with a round of 66 strokes, placed just three strokes behind the leader, promising an exciting final day. Andrea Lee, with 67 strokes, is also in the fight, two strokes from the top. The pressure will be present in the final round, but anyone who is five strokes away has a chance of winning the championship. Players like Megan Khang, Rio Takeda, and Minami Katsu are also in contention. Yamashita had a complicated start, but managed to recover with birdies on holes 11 and 12. Despite the challenges, his ability to stay on top demonstrates his determination. Nelly Korda, the world’s number 1, had a difficult day and is nine strokes behind the leader, which could mean she won’t win a major title this season. The women’s tournament continues without a multiple winner in 19 tournaments, a situation that could remain.I don’t focus on the leader, but on my process and each shot.
