Amy Yang sits two shots back and in good position heading into the final round of the HSBC Women's Champions. Yang got off to a slow a start on the day, but her putter was on fire on the back 9. Last year Yang tied the course record with a final-round 62 at the LPGA KEB Hana Bank Championship where she reeled off nine consecutive birdies to make history and today we saw a similar fire in her birding five on the back 9 to move her into a tie for third.
“It was kind of frustrating, the first nine, shooting 1-over-par without any birdies,” said Yang. “I never gave up, kept trying, and the 11th hole birdie made good momentum. I’m happy with how I finished strongly.”
Yang was in a zone on the back nine.
"Yeah, I never gave up. My front nine wasn't very good. Starting with a bogey on the second hole and just parred until No. 9 hole. It was a little frustrating, but I never gave up. Just keep trying," she explained. "Me and my caddie, we talked, just keep doing what we're doing. It was good to finish with 31 on the back nine."
Yang is just two shots off the lead and looking forward to her final round.
"Tomorrow, I'll just focus on what I can control tomorrow, which is one shot at a time. You only can control yourself and your ball. So be patient and just have fun tomorrow."
