Lee Jeong-eun6 (25) and Hur Mi-jung (32, both from Daebang Construction) added 2-under-par in the foursome (two players alternate playing one ball) on the third day of the LPGA Tour Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational (total prize money $2.3 million) held on the 17th (Korean time) at Midland Golf Course in Michigan, USA (par 70, 6,256 yards), positioning themselves tied for 4th place (13-under-par 197 strokes). They are 2 strokes behind the co-leaders Sydney Clanton (USA) - Jasmine Suwannapura (Thailand), Pajaree Anannarukarn (Thailand) - Aditi Ashok (India), who are tied for first place (15-under-par 195 strokes), fiercely competing for the championship.

This tournament is the only ‘2-player team match’ on the LPGA Tour. The 1st and 3rd rounds are foursomes, and the 2nd and 4th rounds are fourballs (each player plays their own ball and the better score is counted). Lee Jeong-eun6 and Hur Mi-jung built momentum with 3-under-par on the first day and 8-under-par on the second day. On this day, they recorded 1 eagle, 2 birdies, and 2 bogeys. They gained momentum with an eagle on the 3rd hole (par 5) and ‘stepping stone birdies’ on the 5th and 7th holes, but two bogeys on the 9th and 14th holes left some regrets.

The leaders include Carlota Ciganda (Spain) - Mel Reid (England) in 3rd place (14-under-par 196 strokes), and sisters Ariya and Moriya Jutanugarn (Thailand) who joined the tie for 4th place. The Jutanugarn sisters notably surged to the lead with an 11-under-par round the previous day but faltered with 1-over-par on this day. Sisters Nelly and Jessica Korda (USA) are tied for 7th place (10-under-par 200 strokes), and Park In-bi (33, KB Financial Group) - Yoo So-yeon (31, Mediheal) are tied for 17th place (8-under-par 202 strokes).
