A supporter who cares about her trophy. Jing-Youn Ko, already winner last year thanks to a dazzling final (-17), leads the dance at the end of the 3rd round of the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore. If this Saturday was disrupted and even interrupted for a moment by the rain, the Korean (27) went between the drops (8 birdies, 1 bogey).
Jing-Youn Ko is ahead of an American quartet: Nelly Korda (-12), Alisson Corpuz (-11), Elizabeth Szokol (-11), leader Thursday, and Danielle Kang (-10). The latter, who was in the lead on Friday after a crazy 63, could only play in Par this Saturday (72). A big gap.
For her part, author of two 70s to start her week, Céline Boutier signed a convincing 67 this Saturday (an eagle, three birdies, no bogey), to grab 6th place (-9) and believe at least in a podium , which narrowly escaped him last week in Thailand (4th): “It’s a very solid day for me. The eagle at 8 obviously helped me a lot. I had a lot of chances on the return, I didn’t put them all but I didn’t make any mistakes either. Sometimes you have to be aggressive, others just be patient. And I managed this difficulty well. Patience is really essential on this course. I don’t like when the scores are too low, I prefer difficult conditions. So for the last lap, a bit of wind and not too much rain, that would be fine with me.”. Heaven hear it.
