Schubert and Yubol Share 54‑Hole Lead at Standard Portland Classic

Both players are chasing their first LPGA titles as a low‑scoring Columbia Edgewater setup promises a volatile final round.

Overview

  • Sophia Schubert and Arpichaya Yubol are tied at 16‑under after three rounds and will play the final round together for the title.
  • Schubert shot a 5‑under 67 on Saturday with late birdies to climb into the tie while Yubol followed two back‑to‑back 66s with a 68 and credited her putter for steady scoring.
  • Jeeno Thitikul sits two shots back at 14‑under and several players including Narin An remain within striking distance, setting up a crowded leaderboard for Sunday.
  • Early leader Mariel Galdiano fell back after a second‑round 71 and is well behind the leaders while amateur Maria Jose Marin opened with a 6‑under 66 but shot 75 in Round 2 and made the cut on the number.
  • The tree‑lined Columbia Edgewater Country Club has produced many low rounds this week, highlighting the role of Epson Tour graduates and amateurs in creating breakout chances on the LPGA Tour.
