Bogey for Yamashitapublished at 18:23 British Summer Time 3 August
Kim -6, Yamashita -11 (17)

Miyu Yamashita is in the longer grass but has a decentish lie. So she takes her time before chipping and plays a fine wedge to eight feet or so.
She has work to do to save par but has already shown that she can make big putts.
Can she make another? No. It'll be her first bogey of the day. Two strokes will be in her favour heading down the 18th.
Hull shoots 69published at 18:20 British Summer Time 3 August
Hull -9, Khang -5 (F)

Charley Hull misses a birdie putt on the last. She putts from a couple of feet for par to shoot a round of 69.
Hull embraces her caddie and acknowledges the support from the crowd at the 18th hole, but sadly it doesn't look like it will be quite enough.

Charley Hull asked the ball to roll back down the slope on the 18th green with her approach for an eagle but it doesn’t happen.
She has a difficult putt left for birdie.

Hull -9, Khang -5 (17)

Charley Hull gets on to the green at the 18th.
She blows her nose, takes a swig from her water bottle then contemplates a tough putt for birdie.
We're entering the territory of needing a Jean van der Velde-like collapse from Miyu Yamashita now.

Kim -7, Yamashita -12 (16)

Miyu Yamashita dances with danger down the 17th but carries the fairway bunker with her second by a fraction.
She is in the rough but has three shots to play with.

Very difficult shot coming next for Charley Hull, who is given a rousing reception on 18 but needs something miraculous now.
Hull misses the greenpublished at 18:13 British Summer Time 3 August
Hull -9, Khang -5 (17)

Charley Hull is 201 yards from the pin at the 18th and fails to find the green with her iron shot, thus effectively ending her hopes of an eagle.
She needs snookers to overhaul Miyu Yamashita now.

Cheers and applause for Miyu Yamashita as she leaves herself a tap-in par on 16.
She gives a quick touch of her cap in response but she must know how close she is now.

Kim -7, Yamashita -12 (16)

Miyu Yamashita almost holes out a long birdie putt on the 16th green. Sensational stuff from the 24-year-old who appears so composed on her march towards a first major title.

The stage is set around the 18th green, with crowds all around.
Can Charley Hull give them something to cheer?
She has made a good start with a fine tee shot.

Kim -7, Yamashita -12 (15)

Miyu Yamashita cannons a superb tee shot down the 16th. Not a trace of nerves about that or her second which flies on to the green.
Her playing partner A Lim Kim iis wayward off the tee and as a result finds the thick stuff again with her second.
Hull tees off at the lastpublished at 18:05 British Summer Time 3 August
Hull -9, Khang -5 (17)

Charley Hull needs something special on the 18th.
She tees off on the 506-yard par five and is on the fairway, off to the right.
It will need to be some iron shot to follow.

Groans around the 17th green as Charley Hull misses her five-footer for par.
Is that the end of her hopes?

Hull bogeys the 17thpublished at 18:01 British Summer Time 3 August
Hull -9, Khang -5 (17)

Oh no. Is that it?
Back-to-back bogeys for Charley Hull as she kisses the edge of the hole with her putt for par on the 17th before coming back to tap in.
Hull drops back to nine under. She needs something very special on the 18th now.

Yamashita -12 (15)

There’s a sharp intake of breath from the crowd around the 15th green, as Miyu Yamashita narrowly misses that birdie putt.
Had that gone in, it might have been game over.
Yamashita edging closer to victory?published at 17:58 British Summer Time 3 August
Kim -7, Yamashita -12 (15)

Miyu Yamashita, take a bow. The leader spirals an iron shot into around 10 feet from the tee on the par-three 15th.
Her putt swings from left to right and is a fraction from delivering a fourth birdie of the day. The 24-year-old is exuding such confidence at present and taps in for par.
In contrast it is back-to-back bogeys for A Lim Kim, who looks pretty demoralised.

Hull -10, Khang -5 (16)

Charley Hull takes a long old look at the hole on the 17th before pacing to just off the edge of the green.
It's an outside hope of a birdie, but she comes up about four feet short.
Postpublished at 17:54 British Summer Time 3 August
Hull -10, Khang -5 (16)

Charley Hull's caddie Adam Woodward jumps up and down in the rough to get a better view and give her something to aim at on the 17th.
Hull gets on the green and sees the ball just skip on to just off it.
Very much an outside chance of a birdie. Par looks more likely here.
Hull into the rough againpublished at 17:49 British Summer Time 3 August
Hull -10, Khang -5 (16)

Charley Hull find the rough with her tee shot on the 17th, but she's not too far from the fairway.
Every single shot feels vital from this point.

That is another fabulous Charley Hull putt.
A bogey draws the sort of cheers you’d expect for a birdie.
