This Saturday took place the third round of the Honda LPGA Thailand, in Chonburi. Céline Boutier made a nice rise in the rankings, while Patty Tavatanakit took sole control at home.
Céline Boutier is getting closer to the top 10 in Thailand. 51st after 36 holes played, the Frenchwoman reacted well to this moving day by returning a good card of 67 to climb to 27th place (-7 total). Starting from 10, the six-time winner on the LPGA circuit launched her day perfectly at the Honda LPGA Thailand, with a birdie on her first hole before picking up five others throughout the day (for a bogey).
Perrine Delacour experienced the opposite trajectory. 30th on Friday evening, the 29-year-old signed a score of 73 (three birdies, four bogeys) at the end of this third round, and fell to 55th place (-3).
For her part, Patty Tavatanakit continues to shine on her land. Already co-leader at the end of the cut, the Thai took the lead on the leaderboard alone (-16 total) this Saturday. Starting off with a bang, thanks to four birdies and an eagle on her first seven holes, the Bangkok native remained solid thereafter (one birdie, one bogey) to record a superb record of 66: “I am very proud of my performance Today. The heat is starting to tire me. I’m just going to conserve my energy and take on the challenge tomorrow. I feel like the last week has given me a lot of confidence. I’m not saying I’m going to guarantee the result right away, but there are a lot of positives and a lot of good things in the last seven rounds that I played. »
