Leona Maguire has a six-shot deficit to make up on leader Lauren Coughlin going into the final round of the Aramaco Championship.<\/p>\n

In what was another tough day for the field at the testing Shadow Creek Course, Maguire’s round of 74 leaves her at one under. The Cavan golfer’s third round began with a bogey at the first but she picked up shots on four and eight. A run of pars followed until a double-bogey five at the par-3 13th, with that setback softened by a birdie on 17 to leave Maguire fifth overall.<\/p>\n

Coughlin made bogeys on the third and sixth holes before picking up her first birdie of the day on seven.<\/p>\n

She made another birdie on 11 before back-to-back bogeys on 13 and 14; however, she finished strong with a birdie at the last to close out a round of 73 and sit atop the leaderboard on seven under.<\/p>\n

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

World number two Nelly Korda is in outright second place two shots behind her compatriot after a round of 69.<\/p>\n

The two-time major champion ended the day the same way she started it with back-to-back birdies on 17 and 18.<\/p>\n

Japan’s Miyu Yamashita and Denmark\u2019s Nanna Koerstz Madsen are in a share of third place on three-under-par heading into the final day.<\/p>\n

Madsen has had a consistent week around Shadow Creek recording rounds of 72-70-71 despite the variable conditions.<\/p>\n

Of the Irish in the field, Anna Foster carded a 79 to lie on +11, while Laura Walsh’s 80 has her at +14.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leona Maguire has a six-shot deficit to make up on leader Lauren Coughlin going into the final round…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":514874,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-514873","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\/514873","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=514873"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514873\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/514874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=514873"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=514873"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=514873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
