Jutanugarn leads into final round at CP Women's Open

CP Women's Open leaderboard http://www.lpga.com/tournaments/cp-womens-open/leaderboard

Thailand's star Ariya Jutanugarn is the #2 in the women’s world golf rankings behind Lydia Ko and just ahead of Brooke Henderson, and she’s already won four times on tour this year including the Women's British Open.

She's well placed to add a fifth, our national title, after yesterday's 65, -17 total has her
in first two shots clear of South Korea’s In Gee Chun who had a 66 of her own. Chun leads the rookie of the year race.

Jutanugarn doesn't need to hit her driver on this tight par-72, 6,622-yard Raven course layout at the Priddis Greens Golf and Country Club, she hits her 2 iron further than anyone else.

Another South Korean, Sei Young Kim shot -4 68 -12  T3 with Northern Ireland’s Stephanie Meadow, who shot 69.

Canadians:  Alena Sharp had six birdies to shoot -5 67 to get into a five-way T5 with Sweden’s Anna Nordqvist, Ha Na Jang, Amy Yang and Chella Choi, all from South Korea.

Brooke Henderson shot another - 4 68 -8 T21 in a group of six which includes Maude-Aimee Leblanc. They are both 9 shots off the lead, hoping for a top 10.

“I felt way better today and I think feeling the energy from my massive crowds has definitely really helped that,” said Henderson. “Through bad shots and good shots, they’re supporting me and give me a little bit of extra energy and positive vibes. That’s really helped me the last two days.”

Calgary’s Jaclyn Lee shot +1 73 -4 total T47th.
