Minjee Lee returned this Saturday a card of 67 (-4) on the course of Pine Needles Lodge and Golf Club in Southern Pines. The Australian recorded 5 birdies including 4 in a row between 9 and 12 for only one bogey.
With a total score of -13, Lee sets a new record after 54 holes at the US Open. A record previously held by Juli Inkster since the US Open 1999.
A performance that allows the player from Perth to afford the head of the tournament.
« I was really strong all day. I made pars when necessary. And even if I concede this small bogey, I caught up well by making birdies. I can’t wait to play in the last game this Sunday. »
Minjee Lee currently has a lead of three strokes over American Mina Harigae and six over Englishwoman Bronte Law. “ It’s a comfortable lead but it’s not enough to let go, she specifies. there is still work. »
On the French side, Céline Boutier, the only French in the cut, is currently 31st (+2).
