International field set to contend for Ricoh Women's British Open title

Fittingly with the sporting world heading to Rio for the summer Olympics, there are players from 10 different countries in the top 10 with round 3 well under way at the Ricoh Women's British Open.

I have to report that none are from Canada. Brooke Henderson has just completed her third round with E 72 for -1 215 total the same score as Maude Aimee LeBlanc who shot 73. Alena Sharp is on her back nine and is at -2.

Scotland's Catriona Matthew with her hubby on the bag is currently tied for the lead at -12 with Ariya Jutanagarn from Thailand who drives her 2 iron well past the Scots best driver.

Next at -10 come a pair of South Koreans, Ha Na Jang and Mirim Lee, then the Americans led by Mo Martin at -9 along with Chinese star Shanshan Feng.

Lexi Thompson and soon to be married Stacy Lewis are on -8.

Karrie Webb from Australia, Nicole Larsen from Denmark, Camilla Lennarth from Sweden and Azahara Munoz from Spain are also all in the mix.

For my money the powerful young 20 year old Thai star Ariya Jutanagarn is the favourite, and I think if she really wants it, she has all the tools to be the next great player to join Lydia Ko and  Brooke Henderson on the LPGA tour.
