The third round of the 50th AIG Women’s Open unfolds at the historic Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in Lancashire, and the tournament schedule has been released in full detail. Heading into the weekend, South Korean star Haeran Ryu holds a one‑stroke advantage and is poised to chase a third straight major championship.
She will share the final grouping with fellow Korean Shiho Kuwaki, who is also in contention. World No. 2 Jeongeun Lee (Thitikul) trails by two strokes and is eager to capture her first major title; she will be paired with American Solheim Cup hopeful Yealimi Noh for the third round. Meanwhile, England’s Lottie Woad and Charley Hull sit five shots behind the leader, both hoping to secure an English major victory.
At the halfway mark of the season’s final major, only 19 competitors have managed to break par, while 68 of the 144‑player field have remained at four over or better. This event also marks the concluding round of Team Europe’s qualification campaign for the upcoming Solheim Cup.
Swedish veteran Anna Nordqvist, currently eight strokes off the lead, will announce her captain’s picks live on Sky Sports News on Monday afternoon, adding another layer of intrigue to the weekend.
