meanwhile, charley hull's problems seem to start on the 5th hole.d in this competition. she dropped another few shots, and finished on 2—under for the tournament. a lot of ground to make up if she wants to be in contention on the final day. out of nowhere, we do have a new leaderfor this woman's open. it is career�*s jiyai shin, who is on 7—under, and thatis jiyai shin, who is on 7—under, and that is after an impressive six birdies on herfront nine. she now tops the leaderboard, and is the overnight leader. it has also been a great day for lottie woad, though world's leading amateur. she is from surrey, currently studying at florida state university, and is doing incredibly well here at st andrews. the 20—year—old is on 2—underfor the andrews. the 20—year—old is on 2—under for the tournament, andrews. the 20—year—old is on 2—underfor the tournament, mainly 2—under for the tournament, mainly thanks 2—underfor the tournament, mainly thanks to a fantastic eagle at the 18th after her third round. she chipped in from a0 yards out, much to the delight of

charley hull has walked behind us to go on to the practice putting green.o the iconic st andrews course. she had an up and down day yesterday. she went into the second day as the overnight lead on 5—under, but then she dropped three shots, taking her to 2—under. she did rescue her round by birdieing three shots on her back. taking a back to where she began the day on 5—under. and joint second, with the defending champion lily at the. it does still keep her very much in contention for this. she is desperate to go one better this time around. where better to do it than that the home of golf? of course, standing on her way is first of all the defending champion, who she came second to at last it wasn't open, and of course the world number one as well, who is looking for a seventh title and a second major of 2024. she seventh title and a second major of 202a. she is on 8—under. three shots clear of the rest of the field. it is going to take a lot to catch the american and the world number one later on today. and that's all the sport for now. thank you. stoke ma
