View original image[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] Defending champion Jang Hana (28, BC Card) maintained her lead for the third consecutive day.
On the third day of the Hana Financial Group Championship (total prize money 1.5 billion KRW) of the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour, held on the Ocean Course (par 72, 6,474 yards) at Sky72 Golf Club in Yeongjongdo, Incheon on the 7th, she struggled with 1-over par but held her position at the top of the leaderboard (7-under par 209). Park Min-ji (22, NH Investment & Securities) and An Na-rin (24, Moonyoung Group) are also in this group. An Song-i (30, KB Financial Group) is in 4th place (4-under par 212), while Kim A-rim (25, SBI) and Kim Woo-jung (22) share 5th place (3-under par 213).
Jang Hana started with a one-stroke lead and recorded two birdies and three bogeys. She lost the advantage gained from a birdie on the 4th hole with a bogey on the 6th hole (both par 4s), and a bogey on the 12th hole (par 3) was compensated by a birdie on the 15th hole (par 4). However, a bogey on the 16th hole (par 4) allowed her to share the lead, which was unfortunate. An Na-rin, the 'Otech Carrier Championship champion,' reduced her score by one stroke and is aiming for her second victory. Park Min-ji also played even par, presenting an opportunity for her second win since the Daewoo Winia MBN Women's Open last August.
