Jutanugarn’s best finish at the RICOH Women’s British Open was a T45 in 2014 and she missed the cut in 2015. Woburn last hosted the Women’s British Open in 1999, two years before it replaced the du Maurier Classic as the LPGA Tour’s fourth major….

Lydia Ko’s remarkable run of contention at major tournaments is set to come to an end, with the world number one 13 shots off the pace after three rounds of the Women’s British Open.
That puts the 21-year-old on three under for the tournament, eight shots behind Lee. “I had issues with my tee shot”. Earlier this season, she shot an opening-round 64 in the U.S. Women’s Open before finishing in a tie for 11th place. “That’s what’s making me feel comfortable”.
Jutanugarn had a 69.
I think its no pressure for me because only thing I want to is have fun, Jutanugarn said. I like the course.
“I really like the course”, Feng said.
“I actually didn’t know she shot 62”, she confessed. It really matters if my putting is working or not. Catriona Matthew, with a 71, was the top Briton on 10 under.
“When I started playing golf and was growing up, I could never have dreamt of playing in an Olympics”, she said. “I’ve just got to get over it”. Matthew has a chance to make history of her own on Sunday. “The putts actually dropped today”.
South Korea will have the biggest representation of all competing nations with four players ranked inside the top nine, but the vagaries of golf and the depth of global talent in the women’s game make confident predictions hard. “Mighty Mo” made eagle at the final hole after hitting the flagstick with a three-wood approach.
“It’s definitely a departure from links”, Martin said.
“I just had a toffee”.
Lewis also is a past champion, winning at St. Andrews in 2013. “Yeah, like I said, one in the books and we’ll get another one tomorrow like that, and we’ll be talking hopefully on Sunday afternoon”.
Hull began the day at five-under but began with a triple-bogey at the opening par four and could only match two birdies with two bogeys the rest of the way.
I got a lot of experience from this week.. “I just kind of dug in”. “I was a little bit nervous but I think that?s natural when you are leading a major”.
