Woad Seizes 3-Shot Lead at Queen City as Korda Slips Nine Back

Soft greens after a long delay amplified Woad's edge.

Overview

  • Lottie Woad moved to 11 under following Saturday's weather-delayed third round, posting 65 to carry a three-shot cushion into Sunday.
  • World No. 1 Nelly Korda shot a 2-over 72 and is nine behind in a tie for 19th as she pursues a third straight LPGA victory.
  • The LPGA halted the third round at 8:50 a.m. EDT for dangerous weather and restarted play after about 2½ hours.
  • Amanda Doherty sits second at 8 under after 69, with Haeran Ryu at 7 under and Lydia Ko at 6 under, as Jin Young Ko fell to 2 under with a 75 and Jeeno Thitikul reached 5 under with a 69.
  • Doherty, a 28-year-old still seeking her first LPGA title, now has a clear chance to change her career arc with a strong final round.
