Home Sport Minjee Lee sets record pace in third round to pull away at US Women’s Open Minjee Lee sets record pace in third round to pull away at US Women’s Open 05-06-2022 02:58 PM Ammon News - Minjee Lee set a new 54-hole record at the US Women’s Open on Saturday as she moved three shots ahead of the field with one round to play in North Carolina. The Australian carded a four-under 67 that saw her move to a 13-under-par total of 200 through the first three days, breaking Juli Inkster’s record of 201 from 1999. The first-round leader, Mina Harigae, who started Saturday tied with Lee, carded a 70 and sits in second place. The seven-times LPGA Tour winner Lee recovered from bogeying the par-three fifth hole with a birdie on the par-four sixth, then kicked up a gear with four consecutive birdies from the ninth at the Pine Needles course. “When I was on the run of birdies, I wasn’t too nervous,” the world No 4 said afterwards. “I think coming down the stretch a little bit more, just with more people maybe, just a little bit more pressure. I’m pretty calm. My personality is pretty calm anyway. I don’t think I get too high or too low. I think that’s a strength of mine.” England’s Bronte Law begins Sunday in third place, six shots behind Lee, after mixing five birdies with two bogeys en route to a 68. The Swedish amateur Ingrid Lindblad and her compatriot, Anna Nordqvist are among six players tied for fourth place, a further shot behind. That group also includes the world No 1, Ko Jin-young, the world No 3 Lydia Ko, China’s Lin Xiyu and Choi Hye-jin of South Korea. Megan Khang and Ireland’s Leona Maguire are in the group tied for 10th place at five-under-par. *theguardian
