Lee Jeong-eun 6 Tied 15th "Links Course Is Tough"... Jutanugarn Leads

TrustGolf Scotland Women's Open Day 3: 2 Over Par Slump, O'Toole and Hull Join as Co-Leaders, Titikul Chasing in 4th Place

[Asia Economy Golf Specialist Reporter Kim Hyun-jun] "The wind is too strong."

Lee Jeong-eun6 (25, Daebang Construction·photo) dropped to a tie for 15th place (3-under 213). On the early morning of the 15th (Korean time) at the Pipe Dumbarn Links in Scotland (par 72, 6,584 yards), the third day of the LPGA Tour Trust Golf Scotland Women's Open (total prize money $1.5 million), she lost 2 strokes. '2-time champion' Ariya Jutanugarn (Thailand), Ryan O'Toole (USA), and Charley Hull (England) are fiercely competing for the lead at a tie for first place (9-under 207).

Lee Jeong-eun6 recorded 3 birdies and 1 bogey. She started off unsteadily with consecutive bogeys on holes 1 and 4. Especially, her iron shot green hit rate dropped to 50.0%, causing difficulties. She barely made a birdie on the back nine 13th hole (par 5), but bogeyed again on the final 18th hole (par 4). She is 6 strokes behind the leader, but considering the many variables on the links course, there is still a chance. She added her determination, saying, "I will stay focused until the end."

While Jutanugarn faltered with an even-par round, O'Toole shot 4-under and Hull 3-under to rise to a tie for first. Atthaya Thitikul (Thailand) and Ashleigh Buhai (South Africa) are trailing by one stroke at a tie for 4th place (8-under 208). From Korea, Kim A-lim (26) joined the tie for 15th by scoring 1-under par for three consecutive days. Yang Hee-young (32) is tied for 25th (2-under 214), while Jeon In-ji (27, KB Financial Group) and Kang Hye-ji (30) remain tied for 52nd (4-over 220).
