England’s Charley Hull roared back with a brilliant 6-under par 66 to move within three strokes of the lead. Overcoming recent health challenges, Hull’s aggressive front-nine play makes her a serious final-round threat and fan favorite heading into Sunday.
📉 At the Cutline and Beyond
Big names like Nelly Korda and defending champion Lydia Ko made the cut but remain outside the top 10. Notably, Ruoning Yin, Lilia Vu, and Maja Stark missed the cut after underwhelming early rounds.
🔥 Final Round Blockbuster Looms
With 23 players within seven shots of the lead, the final round at Royal Porthcawl is shaping up to be a thrilling showdown. Expect surges from contenders like Megan Khang, Minami Katsu, and young talent Lottie Woad as leaderboard drama unfolds.
