Golf Enthusiasts Eagerly Await Final Round as Amy Yang Leads KPMG Women’s PGA Championship
The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship is reaching its climactic conclusion, with South Korean star Amy Yang firmly in control heading into the final round. Yang, chasing her first major title, currently holds a two-shot lead after carding a third-round 71 at the Sahalee Country Club in Washington state.
“I grew up watching so many great players in the past, and I saw them winning all the major championships,” said Yang. “I dreamed about playing out here because of them. I work hard for this.”
The 34-year-old Yang has been the picture of consistency, recording just three bogeys over the first 54 holes. Nipping at Yang’s heels is American Lauren Hartlage, who shot a 69 to move into a tie for second alongside Japan’s Miyu Yamashita. Overnight co-leader Lilia Vu, the reigning U.S. Women’s Open champion, made the day’s best round with a 68 to sit four shots off the pace.
Charley Hull’s Costly Mistake
England’s Charley Hull had surged within two shots of the lead after three consecutive birdies on the back nine, but a costly triple bogey on the par-three 17th hole dropped her to a tie for 12th, six strokes behind Yang.
“My mate yesterday goes, what happened to you on 17 yesterday? You nearly hit it in the water,” said Hull, who has been dealing with a knee injury. “So got to the tee box and I’m thinking to myself, I never nearly hit it in the water. Then I’m thinking about the water and just fatted it into the water. It’s human.”
With the LPGA’s major championship season in full swing, the drama is sure to intensify as the final round unfolds. Can the experienced Yang claim her first major title, or will someone make a late charge to spoil her dream? Golf enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the conclusion of this thrilling KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
