Defending champion Yamashita maintains her lead after 3 rounds at LPGA Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) --- Defending champion Miyu Yamashita shot a
5-under 67 Saturday to take a two-stroke lead into Sunday's final round of the
LPGA Tour's Maybank Championship.
The 2025 Women's British Open winner and second-round leader had a 54-hole
total of 18-under 198 on the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club course. She won
last year's Malaysian tournament after a three-way playoff.
China's Yan Liu had the round of the day Saturday, a 63 which included an
eagle, nine birdies and two bogeys, to move into a tie for second place.
Pauline Roussin-Bouchard, who led after the first round and shot 67 Saturday,
was level with Yan.
Last week, Yuri Yoshida won the BMW Ladies Championship in South Korea, the
fourth Japanese player this season to win on the LPGA Tour, joining Yamashita,
Shiho Kuwaki and Yuna Nishimura. Yoshida shot 69 Saturday and was at 11-under.
Charley Hull shot 72 and was at 9-under and tied for 18th.
Next week, the LPGA's four-week, late-season Asian swing ends with the Toto
Japan Classic at Omitama outside Tokyo.
