She will have to do it, yes, from a very different situation than the one she had after the first two rounds of the tournament, now forced to seek the most difficult one yet: overcoming a four-stroke deficit against the leader… and beating several others. of the best players in the world.
The Navarrese golfer, who after finishing her round on Friday had dropped that the greens were “a little slower” than on the first day of competition, was in tow for much of the ‘moving day’ after bogeying her two first holes. With his usual solidity from tee to green, he was able to catch up with birdies at 4 and 7, but by then, he had already lost several positions to the advance of his rivals and some excellent cards in the first innings, such as the 64 of Lydia Ko (-11) or 65 of Sei Young Kim (-11)..
On the 11th hole he had a good opportunity to continue improving his card, but his birdie putt missed by very little. As in the 14th, he after a great tee shot. Luckily he had hit the 13th to get under par and did it again on the 17th, with his fourth birdie of the day, which allowed him to sign a round of 69 strokes to be one step away from the top 10 and leave open a possibility for on Sunday.
