Mi Jung Hur (+1), Olafia Kristinsdottir (E), Georgia Hall (E)
12:02 p.m. – 1st Tee
Saturday’s challenging weather conditions made for a difficult third round at the Aberdeen Asset Management Ladies Scottish Open. Despite a rough start on moving day, with three bogeys on her outward nine, Mi Jung Hur remained patient and steadied the ship with three birdies on her back nine to close with an Even par, 72. She’ll play alongside Iceland’s Olafia Kristinsdottir who has seems right at home playing in the cold and windy conditions. The rookie posted a 73 on Saturday to drop back to Even par, six-back of the lead heading into Sunday. The LET’s Georgia Hall, who currently leads the European’s Solheim Cup point standings, managed a 72 on Saturday to remain at Even par for the championship.
Mi Hyang Lee (E), Sun Young Yoo (-2), Carlota Ciganda (-2)
12:14 p.m. – 1st Tee
Mi Hyang Lee posted an impressive four-under par, 68 in Saturday’s wind and rain, the low round of the day, to climb back to Even par for the championship. She’ll play alongside major champion Sun Young Yoo and Spain’s Carlota Ciganda. Both Yoo and Ciganda are at two-under par and make up a small group of players under par for the championship. This week, Ciganda’s success has come from not only her mindset, in looking at the tough conditions as a fun challenge, but also learning from her veteran and longtime caddie for Annika Sorenstam, Terry McNamara.
Cristie Kerr (-4), Karrie Webb (-6), Sei Young Kim (-6)
12:26 p.m. - 1st Tee
Sunday is a take-two for the group of Cristie Kerr, Karrie Webb and Sei Young Kim, who were also grouped together on Saturday. Kim enjoyed playing alongside the veteran duo and the feeling was mutual for Webb, who said the strong showing from each of these players in Saturday’s tough conditions helped to spur on the others. This group owns an impressive 66 victories between them, the bulk belonging to Webb who is in search of win No. 42 this week and first victory on Tour since 2014. Kerr could pick up win No. 20 on Sunday, with Kim in search of victory No. 7 on the LPGA Tour. Three of Kim’s six victories have come in windy, island conditions, not unlike the strong winds players have battled this week at Dundonald Links.
