Lids with another birdie! Goes to -11, four shots ahead at the turn. Her nearest rival is putting to save par, could be a 5 shot lead soon. Looking serene at the moment

Edit, the Chinese golfer missed her par putt, Lids 5 ahead!

[canefan]

Lids is deadly close in. Just has to play percentages, all the chasers have stalled at the moment. Jeez I wish I had a swing tempo like hers. She’s locked in right now

[canefan]

Side note, Morgane Metraux is easy on the eye

[canefan]

Lids grazes the hole on her birdie putt. Almost grabbed another shot on the field.

[canefan]

Lids slides her par putt in the side door of the hole to preserve her 5 shot lead, after 12. Come on Lids!

[canefan]

Lids makes her first significant mistake. Put an easy approach into the water to likely drop a stroke. Uncharacteristic from Lids, just had to fire it into the heart of the green

[canefan]

Lids needs to get back on track after the double bogey on 13

[sparky]

Lydia Ko now only two shots ahead of Hensleit of Germany.

[canefan]

And suddenly looking very tight

[canefan]

Still lots of birdies out there. Lydia has to snap out of her funk quick

[Jailbreak7]

Keep updates coming please!

Lids might need to get her sports psychologist on speed dial. Lids has a two shot lead with 4 to play. The German is on 18 with a potential eagle or birdie chance. She can tie with Lids if she putts out for an eagle

[canefan]

Ironic that Lydia’s tee shots have been fine, suddenly her pitching has gone off line

[canefan]

Lydia now decides to play it safe . She has a long putt for birdie

[canefan]

The German finishes with a birdie to be one shot behind Lids in the clubhouse. If Ko can play four holes of par golf it should be enough

[sparky]

One shot lead with four to play. Gulp!

[canefan]

Lydia could do with a birdie….

[canefan]

Lids makes her par. She has three holes to play, including the very birdiable 18th par

[canefan]

Ko playing it safe on the par 3 16th, but she’ll have to two putt from distance

[Jailbreak7]

Come on Lyds!
