[Music] after a couple of days of warm sunny days here in Portland Oregon at Columbia Edgewater Country Club today a little bit overcast temperatures right around 79 80° for the third round Justin cutcher alongside Amanda bluming Hurst fairly basic bunker shot here no slope in the way just land up there 34s and just trickle to the hole nicely done very nicely done we'll have that left for birdie to get to 14 under and for changen playing in the same group as natalan gusa has this putt for birdie to get to 11 under well done job backto back birdies for Angel Yim we saw her a lot on Thursday at the eighth now for birdie playing well to the left knowing it was going to break that was really well read strength of her game is up that leaderboard four time winner at Texas Tech well ranked 51 in the Rolex rankings a really big week for her she she's had three top 10 so far this season in her rookie year like I said before tied for sixth in Canada so really great momentum going in to the Portland classic as this putt to get into second place all alone oh what a roll pretty good for the two time South American am champ to the finishing hole the 18th Jennifer Chang has this punt to get to 12 under great can it break in nicely done a 67 here in round three kind of big birdie on this hole especially one of the easier power FS on the go she listen J she got it yes is the second easiest hole on the golf course 140 today for Emma this is a really big weekend to keep her card she needs to be in that top 100 in the CME points she's certainly at 149 she only played five events that she was eligible for team total just this a N9 location on the front portion of just all about controlling the spin the ren comes from Back to Front it's on a great line that was so nicely done like that dead arm swing she just had I know sopia Garcia at 17 trying to save her par big par Save Right There keeps her in a tie for the lead right now with natala gusa and Davey Weber 13 has a put Birdie the hottest player on the LPGA Tour currently with her win in Canada just last week three birdies and her last four holes for Andrea Lee and on the T at the eighth playing 140 yds the 19yearold she had a boy free round with the first two Body English I say and that was also a perfect pce putt that gave it enough to get there a winner here in 2022 and that makes a difference you obviously when you walk on the property you've had success she's starting to play some good golf too so I think the combination of that just makes it you know you expect to play well not much in this one [Music] though regroup after that b get the first R kind of iffy shot it too but she's been straight on since yeah she was saying she really feel like she's playing well the beginning of the season but he's not closer than that Grace kid at the nth to get to 15 under [Applause] yeah absolutely you don't want to have to try feel like you need a force something and she's P hitting these iron shots like that you know you don't try to rush it just let it happen and let look at Malia n is this put for birdie at the par three keeping the flag stick in I should keep it really good uh compact birdie here tie for the [Music] lead a beautiful teot Andrea Lee played her college golf at Stanford nine individual titles SW at [Music] Stanford she held the world number one she led the Amer standings for a long time at Stanford lot of players in contention here another good roll side pocket that was really well read as well a tricky putt that was by another birdie out of par five she gets to 16 under shot for Angel Yin at 14 Angel is a player that I am always pulling for just so I can hear her in interviews she is really funny and uh Grace Kim at the 12 for birdie and she is now at 1600 a t- shot can you roll in another one let be for eighth birdie of the day and it's looking really good are you kidding me the 19-year-old has gotten to 17 under I was talking to a c Chi-Chi her Stock A Time 154 so it doesn't have to do anything odd here just hit your normal shot and there we go stay there well done that was absolutely perfect I mean it was like 152 [Music] she is the first to 19 under looking for her second career [Music] win cadd loved it yeah that was a great fist [Music] pump let's go to get bance spin it does beautiful shot she needed to get some confidence back in her wedges and her Armon plages it has been off okay but you know you just have to sit here and just keep grinding and out you can't ever give up you don't want to leave the golf course and I could have done this and could have done that obviously that CT was huge for her um like you said one of the first times you've seen her smile one of the only puts we've seen made on this 18th hole it's been really tricking players on the direction truck H more kind of a run shot I kind of like what she's got right here hit this just short way to release that's the type of shot I would have played as well run it up that was really well executed Alexa Pano trying to recover from that bogey at 16 move it right to left be looking our chops at this one from 125 this is right at it answer boogey watch this I'm to St close make set button and I belong out here and being contention see putts fall like that one she's 105th and regulation on the LPG back at the 18th Alexa Pano for par and the 19-year-old is in the clubhouse at 18 under after three rounds 68 64 66 two under on her round today asking you to get up a little bit Oh What a Beautiful shot on the 18 did you see her staring that one up and down well I mean really Beau not I'm just going to chip it in three under 69 finishing in sty she knew it might be a little bit risky to go for it a lot of tap from her today second 67 she didn't have her best up today but she gred for 70 she will head to Sunday
