Amy Yang moved into a two-shot lead of the Women’s PGA Championship by carding a third round of 71.<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old South Korean hit three birdies and a bogey to go to seven under par, with Lauren Hartlage (69) and Miyu Yamashita (70) on five under.<\/p>\n
Sarah Schmelzel was in the joint overnight lead with Yang but shot a 74 and is on four under par at the Sahalee Country Club in Washington.<\/p>\n
England’s Charley Hull was within reach of the leaders before she found the water and hit a triple bogey on the par-three 17th.<\/p>\n
She finished with a par round of 72, which also included five birdies and two bogeys, and is six shots off the lead on one under par.<\/p>\n
“My mate yesterday goes, ‘what happened to you on 17 yesterday? You nearly hit it in the water’,” said Hull.<\/p>\n
“So I got to the tee box and I’m thinking to myself, I never nearly hit in the water. Then I’m thinking about the water and just fatted it into the water. It’s human.<\/p>\n
“It wasn’t like me. I played so well out there and didn’t do one thing wrong and got up and down when I needed to.<\/p>\n
“But I’m still positive going into the final round. Anything can happen.”<\/p>\n
Yang has five wins on the LPGA Tour but will be chasing her first victory at a major on Sunday. <\/p>\n
“It’ll mean a lot, but we still got 18 more holes out there and that’s a lot of golf left for major championship,” she said.<\/p>\n
“I’m just going to embrace the moment and not going to expect the result. Just see what’s going to happen.”<\/p>\n
The third round included Pajaree Anannarukarn of Thailand hitting a hole in one – the first at the event since 2018 – with her effort on the 153-yard par-three 13th.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
