The third round of the 50th AIG Women’s Open unfolds at the historic Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in Lancashire, and the schedule of pairings and tee times has been released for fans and participants alike. Heading into the weekend, South Korean star Haeran Ryu sits atop the leaderboard with a one‑stroke advantage, eyeing a potential third consecutive major triumph. She will share the final group with Japan’s Shiho Kuwaki, creating an exciting showdown between two of the world’s top‑ranked players.
World No. 2 Jeongeun (Jeeno) Thitikul trails by two strokes, still hungry for her first major victory.
She will be paired with American Solheim Cup hopeful Yealimi Noh, offering a compelling mix of experience and youthful ambition. Meanwhile, England’s Lottie Woad and Charley Hull, both five shots back, are looking to close the gap and capture an English major title, a feat that has eluded the nation for some time. The field at the halfway point is remarkably competitive: only 19 competitors are under par, while a solid 68 of the 144‑player roster have posted scores of four over or better.
