[Asia Economy Reporter Seohee Lee] Anna Lin (26) aims for a 'comeback victory.'
On the 17th (local time), Anna Lin shot a 5-under-par 67 with six birdies and one bogey in the third round of the LPGA Tour AmazingCre Portland Classic (total prize money $1.5 million) held at Columbia Edgewater Country Club (par 72, 6,478 yards) in Portland, Oregon, USA. With a total score of 9-under-par 207, she formed a tie for 14th place with Brooke Henderson (Canada).
Anna Lin significantly reduced her strokes in a surge. After making her first birdie on the 5th hole (par 5), she swept four consecutive birdies from the 5th to the 8th holes. Later, she also made two consecutive birdies on the 14th and 15th holes in the back nine. However, the only bogey on the final 18th hole (par 4) was a blemish.
Among Korean players, Anna Lin holds the highest rank and will attempt an exciting 'turnaround show' on the final day. She is four strokes behind the co-leaders Andrea Lee, Lilia Vu (both USA), and Ayaka Furue (Japan), who are at 13-under-par 203.
Hinako Shibuno (Japan), Paula Reto (South Africa), Daniela Darquea (Ecuador), and Hannah Green (Australia) are tied for 4th place at 12-under-par 204.
Rookie Choi Hye-jin (23) reduced four strokes with six birdies and one double bogey, standing tied for 16th at 8-under-par 208. Already Hyang (29) and Choi Woon-jung (32) are tied for 19th at 7-under-par 209 along with world No. 2 Nelly Korda (USA).
