LPGA Scottish Open leaderboard

Lydia Ko and Celine Boutier are tied for the lead after the third round of the 2022 Trust Golf Women's Scottish Open at Dundonald Links.

Leblanc also went out in 5-under 31 and birdied both of the par 5s on the back nine to vault up the leaderboard. Eun-Hee Ji and Lilia Vu are tied at 13 under in a tie for fifth. “I drove it a little better than I did the past couple of days, but my irons just weren’t as sharp,” Ko said. “It was a very solid day,” Boutier said. After not recording a bogey through the first two rounds, Ko made three on Saturday to her four birdies. The ball settled a couple feet from the hole, and she tapped in the birdie to close her round on a high note.

Japan's Ayaka Furue stormed to a maiden LPGA Tour victory after firing a course record 62 (-10) to win the 2022 Trust Golf Women's Scottish Open.

That’s the main thing, I don’t think I could have expected a better week than how I played.” “Obviously, I’m a bit disappointed at the moment but I feel like my game has been very solid all week and I put myself in position. I was trying to focus on my own game and not pay too much attention on the leaderboard. She added: “I feel pretty good. I feel like hopefully I’m going to gain some experience from this and next time I’ll be lifting the trophy. The two-time Solheim Cup winner had seven birdies and four bogeys on her scorecard on the fourth day to have a total of 18-under-par at Dundonald Links.

Four players are T9 at -11, including six-time LPGA Tour winner Nasa Hataoka and 2022 HSBC Women's World Championship winner Hyo Joo Kim. Comments ...

“It was a bit of a rough start. Yeah, had a great finish, 4-under on the last five, so I'm really happy about that. My irons were not as sharp so I don't think I set myself up for as many easier kind of 15 feet and birdie opportunities,” said Ko, who hit nine of 14 fairways and 16 of 18 greens on Saturday. “I know it wasn't the best golf I’ve played, but I was able to scramble around. And I had some good memories of playing well in the past so that's always helpful.” I don't think it was as bad as I think, and I think because I had two really low rounds it makes me compare more to the past couple days.I know there's a lot of good out there and hopefully maintain the good tomorrow and see the hole on the greens, on a few more tomorrow.” Ko wasn’t feeling as good about her Saturday play as Boutier. The Kiwi shot a 1-under 71, an up-and-down day that saw her make three bogeys and four birdies, with a chip-in for a two on the par-3 15th serving as the highlight of the round.
