Noh opens three-shot lead as Women's British Open heads for thrilling finish

Aug 1 : American Yealimi Noh moved to the brink of a breakthrough major title after carding a two-under-par 69 to take a three-shot lead after the third round of the Women's British Open at Royal Lytham on Saturday.

Noh produced a composed display down the stretch, playing the back nine in three under par before closing with a par at the last to finish at seven under overall.

"I had a little bit of a rough start, a couple bogeys on the front nine.

Actually a chip-in par save on the second, which was nice," Noh told reporters.
