The third round of the 50th AIG Women’s Open unfolds at the historic Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in Lancashire, and the full schedule of pairings and tee times has been released. Heading into the weekend, South Korean star Haeran Ryu holds a one‑stroke advantage, positioning herself for a chance at a third straight major triumph.
She will share the final group with Japan’s Shiho Kuwaki, creating a dramatic showdown between two of the world’s top players. World No. 2 Jeongeun "Jeeno" Thitikul, sitting two shots behind the leader, is eager to capture her first major title.
She tees off alongside American Solheim Cup hopeful Yealimi Noh, adding an extra layer of intrigue as both players chase personal milestones. English hopefuls Lottie Woad and Charley Hull, each five strokes off the lead, are also in contention, hoping to become the first Englishwoman to win the Open in recent memory. The field at the halfway point is tightly packed: only 19 competitors have managed to break par, while 68 of the 144 entrants are at four‑over or better. This competitive balance underscores the difficulty of the Royal Lytham layout, known for its deep bunkers, undulating fairways, and challenging coastal winds.
The tournament also serves as the final event in Team Europe’s Solheim Cup qualification campaign.
