Overview
- Ruoning Yin holed a chip for birdie on the 18th and finished with a 4‑under 68 on Saturday to move to 12‑under 204 and take a one‑stroke, third‑round lead.
- Sei Young Kim and Hyo Joo Kim sit one shot behind Yin after rounds of 67 and 70 respectively, while Somi Lee and Jenny Bae remain within striking distance at eight under.
- Allisen Corpuz, who began the day tied for the lead, shot a two‑over 74 and dropped into a tie for sixth at 7‑under, and Miyu Yamashita fell six strokes after a 75 despite a recent dominant win in Canada.
- The FM Championship is the LPGA’s final tournament before the Solheim Cup, and a number of contenders including top‑ranked Nelly Korda and retiring European captain Anna Nordqvist are using the event as a last tune‑up.
- Yin’s late‑round resilience gives her momentum, but the tight leaderboard means Sunday’s scoring and putts will determine both the champion and which players carry confidence into the Solheim Cup.
