On the 13th (Korean time), at the Lake Merced Golf Club in Daly City, California, USA (par 72, 6,551 yards), the third day of the LPGA Tour Mediheal Championship (total prize money $1.5 million) continued, where she shot 3-under par to climb to a tie for 4th place (6-under par 210). Lin Min (Taiwan) surprisingly took the lead (9-under par 207), and Lauren Kim (USA) is chasing in a tie for 2nd place (7-under par 209).
Starting from a tie for 9th place, 4 strokes behind, Kim Arim recorded 5 birdies and 2 bogeys. She gained momentum with 'stepping stone birdies' on holes 3 and 5 and consecutive birdies on holes 9 and 10, but faltered with bogeys on holes 11 and 13. Fortunately, she changed the mood with a birdie on the 15th hole (par 5), setting the stage for the final day. She is a rookie who debuted on the LPGA Tour this year after winning the US Women's Open as a non-member last December. She is 3 strokes behind the leader, well positioned to aim for a comeback.
