In the third round of the Korea Women's Open, the most prestigious tournament in women's golf, 18-year-old high school student Yang Yun-seo and KLPGA rookie leader Kim Min-sol have tied for the lead, setting the stage for a fierce battle for the championship on the final day.
True to her reputation as one of the KLPGA's top long hitters, Kim Min-sol gained momentum by securing birdies on all three par-5 holes.
18-year-old high school student Yang Yun-seo proved equally impressive in both distance and precision.
Although she stumbled with a triple bogey on the 15th hole after leading for much of the round, she finished strong with a precise shot for a birdie on the final hole, bringing her total to 3-under par and pulling even with Kim Min-sol.
The two players will face off in the championship group tomorrow to compete for the trophy.
