LPGA FM Championship: Miranda Wang Takes Three-Shot Lead

In a thrilling display at the LPGA FM Championship at TPC Boston, Miranda Wang of the United States has taken a commanding three-shot lead going into the final round. Wang shot a 7-under par 65 on Saturday, finishing with just 24 putts.

Wang's impressive round came after a marathon day due to weather interruptions. She managed to complete her second-round 67 on Friday night after play was suspended by darkness. In the third round, Wang added birdies at the 14th and 18th holes, demonstrating her solid form on the greens.

Kim Sei-young of South Korea, currently in second place, is three strokes behind Wang. Kim had a more challenging third round, with bogeys at the second and third holes, but she rolled in three birdies to post a one-under 71. Kim completed four holes on Friday and had a second-round 64 earlier in the tournament.

Rose Zhang, another American contender, is in third place, also three strokes behind Wang. Zhang had an early bogey in the third round but managed to recover with five birdies, shooting a five-under 67. Zhang completed a second-round 64 and has been consistent throughout the tournament.

Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand and Andrea Lee, an American, are tied for fourth place, four strokes behind Wang. Thitikul had eight birdies in her seven-under 65, while Lee had six birdies in a six-under 66.

Park Kum-kang of South Korea had a strong start, picking up six strokes in her first seven holes and shooting an impressive eight-under 64. However, she is now seven strokes behind Wang and will need a remarkable comeback to win the championship.

Celine Borge shot a three-under 67, while Ayaka Furue posted a six-under 66. These players are currently in the top ten, providing a competitive field for the final round.
