Hannah Green of Australia is on some sort of crazy charge in the final round of the golf.

Hopefully she stalls when she gets close, like most of the other chasers so far.

Nice tee shot ln 7 for Lids. This seems like her kind of course. It's not especially long, she isn't penalized for a lack of length off the tee

[canefan]

Wow. Lids left her approach a long way from the flag. But she knocks her 40 door putt right in the heart of the hole to lead by 2 at -10 after 7. Her playing partners have fallen back

Finally got to see the K500. Machine-like from Carrington

She's in trouble now, takes a double bogey on 10 to stall her charge

[canefan]

Lids with a 3 shot lead, 10 holes to play

[canefan]

Lids with another birdie! Goes to -11, four shots ahead at the turn. Her nearest rival is putting to save par, could be a 5 shot lead soon. Looking serene at the moment

Edit, the Chinese golfer missed her par putt, Lids 5 ahead!

[canefan]

Lids is deadly close in. Just has to play percentages, all the chasers have stalled at the moment. Jeez I wish I had a swing tempo like hers. She’s locked in right now

[canefan]

Side note, Morgane Metraux is easy on the eye

[canefan]

Lids grazes the hole on her birdie putt. Almost grabbed another shot on the field.

[canefan]

Lids slides her par putt in the side door of the hole to preserve her 5 shot lead, after 12. Come on Lids!

[canefan]

Lids makes her first significant mistake. Put an easy approach into the water to likely drop a stroke. Uncharacteristic from Lids, just had to fire it into the heart of the green

[canefan]

Lids needs to get back on track after the double bogey on 13

[sparky]

Lydia Ko now only two shots ahead of Hensleit of Germany.

[canefan]

And suddenly looking very tight

[canefan]

Still lots of birdies out there. Lydia has to snap out of her funk quick

[Jailbreak7]

Keep updates coming please!

[canefan]

Lids might need to get her sports psychologist on speed dial. Lids has a two shot lead with 4 to play. The German is on 18 with a potential eagle or birdie chance. She can tie with Lids if she putts out for an eagle

[canefan]

Ironic that Lydia’s tee shots have been fine, suddenly her pitching has gone off line

[canefan]

Lydia now decides to play it safe . She has a long putt for birdie

[canefan]

The German finishes with a birdie to be one shot behind Lids in the clubhouse. If Ko can play four holes of par golf it should be enough
