AIG Women's Open Tee Times: Round Three
World No.1 Nelly Korda takes a three shot lead into the weekend at the AIG Women's Open, and she's out with defending champion Lilia Vu in Saturday's final group
World No.1 Nelly Korda is no stranger to being at the top of a leaderboard. The 25-year-old American golfer has taken her game to new heights with a staggering run of tournament successes at the start of this season.
Victory in April's Chevron Championship not only secured her a second career major title but it also represented a record-equalling fifth LPGA Tour victory in as many starts.
Now she's back at the top of a leaderboard again going into the weekend play at the AIG Women's Open at St. Andrews, having carded an almost flawless second round of four-under-par 68 to accompany her first round on the same scoreline and place her three shots ahead of the field.
But there are other world-class women players in hot pursuit including the defending champion Lilia Vu. The five-time LGPA Tour winner got a kitten last year and named him Walton in honour of her victory in the 2023 AIG Women's Open at Walton Heath Golf Club.
Also tied for second place on five-under-par is England's Charley Hull who will be hoping to put an end to her curse of being the bridesmaid and never the bride in major championships. Hull finished second to Vu in the AIG Women's Open at Walton Heath Golf Club last year.
Hull will be teeing up alongside Ruoning Yin in the penultimate group on Saturday, teeing off on the Old Course at 14.20pm local time.
