ladieseuropeantour.com    Inbee Park and So Yeon Ryu will be playing together both as rivals and as teammates representing South Korea in the final round of the World Ladies Championship in China on Sunday.


This tournament is unique in professional golf in that it comprises three events in one: an individual professional competition, a team championship in which countries are represented by teams of two and an individual amateur tournament.


After three rounds on the Blackstone Course at Mission Hills Haikou, the defending champion Park holds a one stroke lead over compatriot Ryu in the individual stroke play competition.


She fired a third round -2 71 to end on -10, ahead of Ryu, who moved into solo second with an -8 65, -9


With a combined score of -19, the second and eighth ranked golfers in the world, who won the team event together last year by a whopping 28 strokes, are also 15 strokes ahead of their nearest rivals in the team competition, ahead of the Norway and Chinese Taipei. Meanwhile, China’s Lei Ye has effectively won the amateur prize as the only non-professional to make the cut.


With a -6 67, the 2013 event champion Suzann Pettersen of Norway climbed into T3 with the recent Sanya Ladies Open champion Xiyu Lin of China (73) and both are also in a strong position to contend, just three from the lead.
