England’s Charley Hull is four shots behind the lead at the LPGA CME Group Tour Championship after an impressive second consecutive 66. The 28-year-old golfer’s six-under-par round, which included seven birdies and one bogey, moved her to 11 under overall as she heads into the final round in Florida. Hull’s performance has kept her firmly in contention for the title, though there’s still work to do to close the gap.
The Leaders: Thailand’s Thitikul and the US’s Yin at the Top
Overnight leader Angel Yin of the United States shot a 67 to stay tied for the lead with Thailand’s Jeeno Thitikul. Thitikul, in particular, had a remarkable round, carding a stunning 63 that included seven birdies and an eagle. The two are now at 15 under, four strokes ahead of Charley Hull and the other competitors. With a win, Thitikul would add another prestigious victory to her already impressive career.
Who’s Close Behind?
Charley Hull isn’t the only one hoping to make a move on the final day. American Nelly Korda sits at nine under after a third-round 69, and New Zealand’s Lydia Ko is just one shot further back. The final round promises to be thrilling, with several players looking to close the gap and take home the $4 million grand prize.
