Lee Mi-hyang jumped to a joint ninth place in the third round of the Blue Bay LPGA (total prize money of $2.5 million) on the LPGA Tour.

In the third round of the tournament held at Jen Lake Blue Bay Golf Course (par 72, 6,712 yards) in Hainan Province, China on the 8th, Lee Mi-hyang shot 3-under 69 without a bogey.

Lee Mi-hyang, who had a 5-under 211 total, finished the third round tied for ninth, up six places from 15th the previous day.

It is four strokes behind Takeda Rio (Japan, 9-under 207), who took the lead alone, and is in a position to seek a come-from-behind victory on the last day.

Lee ranked No. 1 at the Mizuno Classic in 2014 and the Scottish Women's Open in July 2017, securing two LPGA Tour wins. She participated in three competitions this season, and tied for 21st at last week's HSBC Women's World Championship.
On the day, Lee made birdies at the sixth hole (par 4) in the first half, and reduced one stroke each at the 13th hole (par 4) and the 18th hole (par 5) in the second half. The fairway missed five times and the green seven times, but blocked the putt with 26.

Kim A-rim, who tied for the lead in the first round and slipped to the top 30 after losing five shots in the second round the previous day, jumped to a tie for 11th (4-under 212) with six birdies and one bogey. 안전놀이터

Kim A-rim, who won her third career LPGA title at this season's opening Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, has given the green light to her entry into the top 10 for four consecutive tournaments she has participated in this year.

Yoon In-na, a three-time champion of the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour last season, also joined Kim Arim in 11th place.

Yoon Na-na, who missed the cut at the Founders Cup last month when she made her LPGA Tour debut, cut two pars in her first weekend game since her debut.

Lee So-mi tied for 20th (2-under 214), Im Jin-hee tied for 23rd (1-under 215), and Jeon Ji-won tied for 31st (1-over 217).

Takeda, who played in the Japan Ladies Professional Golf Association (JLPGA) Tour and entered the U.S. stage this year after winning the Toto Classic co-hosted by the LPGA Tour in November last year, took the opportunity to win by a two-shot lead over Austin Kim of the U.S.

Lee Min-ji (Australia), Gino Thitikul (Thailand), Ayaka Furue and Mao Saigo (Japan) tied for fifth (6-under 210).
