Leona Maguire carded a blemish-free third round 69 at the BMW Ladies Championship, where Sei Young Kim holds a commanding four-shot lead going into Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Cavan woman saw any ambitions of challenging for victory evaporate at Oak Valley Country Club with a disappointing second-round 74<\/a>.<\/p>\n

FULL LEADERBOARD<\/a><\/p>\n

However, the 30-year-old was enjoyed a better round on Saturday, aided by hitting all 14 fairways in a round that contained three birdies and not a single dropped shot.<\/p>\n

Starting at the 10th hole, Maguire began with seven successive pars before a birdie at the 17th was followed shortly after at the par-five second.<\/p>\n

She concluded with a birdie at the par-three ninth and sits on three-under par and tied for 52nd.<\/p>\n

That leaves the Irish golfer 16 shots off leader Sei Young Kim.<\/p>\n

The Korean began the day with a single shot advantage over Brooke Matthews and concluded it by stretching the lead to four shots over American Yealimi Noh and Nasa Hataoka of Japan.<\/p>\n

Kim’s third-round 69 puts her in pole position for a 13th LPGA Tour victory of her career and first in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leona Maguire carded a blemish-free third round 69 at the BMW Ladies Championship, where Sei Young Kim holds…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":209488,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-209487","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209487","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209487"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209487\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/209488"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209487"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
