Woad heads to final holepublished at 17:46 British Summer Time 31 July
Ko +1, Vu +2, Woad +1 (17)

Lottie Woad's cheeks have turned pink in the late afternoon sunshine at Royal Porthcawl. She bangs in another par at the 17th hole.
Lilia Vu and Lydia Ko also get through the par four in as many shots before heading to the final hole of the round.
It's been nip and tuck between this trio all afternoon.

A lot of people were expecting Lottie Woad to lead the British charge at Royal Porthcawl but Mimi Rhodes is taking that role right now.
She gets another look at an eagle on the 13th, but a birdie will do very nicely to take her to four under par - one off the lead jointly held by Rio Takeda and Eri Okayama.
Korda makes par, Yin bogeyspublished at 17:39 British Summer Time 31 July
Korda -1, Jutanugarn +1, Yin -1 (15)

The 15th par three is a particularly tricky hole, but world number one Nelly Korda manages to navigate it without any errors, calmly making the green and saving par.
American Angel Yin isn't so lucky, sliding her third shot an inch wide of the hole to drop a shot.
Woad remains one overpublished at 17:33 British Summer Time 31 July
Ko +1, Vu +2, Woad +1 (16)

Lottie Woad seems fairly content after rolling in a putt at the 16th to secure par. The 21-year-old Englishwoman smiles and chats to her caddie.
By contrast, Lilia Vu has a face like thunder.
A double bogey for Vu, who was troubled by the bunker, sees her go back to two over.
Rhodes leads British challengepublished at 17:29 British Summer Time 31 July
Rhodes -3 (12)

It's quite a congested leaderboard at the moment but the only British player within two shots of the lead is England's Mimi Rhodes.
The 23-year-old has already won three times on the LET this year.
Making her Women's Open debut, she is three under through 12 holes - helped by an eagle three on the par-five ninth.
Korda saves par on 14thpublished at 17:28 British Summer Time 31 July
Korda -1, Jutanugarn +2, Yin -2 (14)

World number one Nelly Korda gets herself into a spot of bother as she slams her drive into a bunker, and then underhits her rescue shot on the par-four 14th.
But her third shot, a chip onto the green, is immaculate, landing a couple of feet from the hole, and she easily tidies up for an eventful par.
Fellow American Angel Yin also saves par, with a tricky putt from about 10 feet that just drops in.
Harry moves to two underpublished at 17:19 British Summer Time 31 July

There’s a nice setup here around the 17th hole.
The crowds horseshoe around the back of the green, there are some tables and chairs, food and drink stalls, and the sun is shining - bliss.
Wales’ Darcey Harry gets the crowd going as she drains a long birdie putt to move back to two under for the day with one to play.
England’s Georgia Hall, meanwhile, drops a shot and moves back to one under par.
Takeda joins Okayama in share of leadpublished at 17:17 British Summer Time 31 July
Yamashita -4 (68), Takeda -5 (67)

Anyone choosing to follow this three-ball around Royal Porthcawl today will have got their money's worth.
Rio Takeda birdies the par-five 18th to join fellow Japanese player Eri Okayama in the lead at five under par.
Miyu Yamashita will sign for a four-under-par round of 68 after a par at the last.
Their playing partner, Patty Tavatanakit of Thailand, went round in a one-under-par 71.
Woad bogeys 15thpublished at 17:14 British Summer Time 31 July
Ko +1, Vu E, Woad +1 (15)

Lottie Woad has a 20-foot putt to save par on the par-three 15th, but ends up coming up well short and drops a shot.
Lydia Ko also bogeyed the hole but Lilia Vu rolls in a birdie to get herself to evens.
Pars all round on the 13thpublished at 17:06 British Summer Time 31 July
Korda -1, Jutanugarn +1, Yin -2 (13)

About five or six feet left for birdie on the par-five 13th for Nelly Korda. But another chance slips by for the world number one! A little bit of break on that putt but it's one you think she should have holed.
Angel Yin gives her birdie putt a run from a bit further out, but it lips out and the American has to settle for par too.
Woad to joypublished at 16:57 British Summer Time 31 July
Ko E, Vu +1, Woad E (14)

Lottie Woad with a fine tee shot at the 14th followed a superb approach shot which plops on to the green, four feet away from the pin.
Woad duly slides the ball into the hole to pick up a birdie and get herself back down to evens.

Yamashita drops a shotpublished at 16:53 British Summer Time 31 July
Yamashita -4 (17)

A good par-save attempt from Miyu Yamashita drifts by the hole and it's a bogey which drops her back to four under par.
Eri Okayama, who carded a five-under 67 earlier today, has the outright lead of the Women's Open.
Postpublished at 16:52 British Summer Time 31 July
Yin -2, Korda -1 (12)

Angel Yin and Nelly Korda go for the green in two on the par-five 13th.
It's downwind but if anything that makes the task more difficult - neither player is able to stop their ball trundling off the back of the putting surface.

Lottie Woad remains one over after missing a tough birdie putt on 13.
She could do with a birdie or two from here on in, having managed only one since the first hole.

G Hall -2 (15)
Andrew Richards
BBC Sport Wales at Royal Porthcawl

It’s my second time on the 16th hole today and it’s my second time seeing a spectator hit by a ball.
This one was not a direct hit, Georgia Hall’s tee shot took a bounce and merely nudged a gentleman in the back as he braced for impact.
Perhaps I’ll give this hole a miss tomorrow, I’m clearly riding my luck.
Woad settles for parpublished at 16:38 British Summer Time 31 July
Ko E, Vu +1, Woad +1 (13)

Lottie Woad gets up to the green on the 13th with a chance for a birdie, but ultimately has to settle for par after two putts to remain one over.
Meanwhile, Lydia Ko misses a relatively straightforward putt so bogeys the hole and drops a shot.
Yamashita remains in share of leadpublished at 16:36 British Summer Time 31 July
Yamashita -5 (16)

Just two more holes left to go for Japan's Miyu Yamashita, whose long birdie putt on the 16th slides by the edge of the cup.

Darcey Harry does really well with the chip to leave herself a four-foot putt for par - she tidies up to stay one under.
Georgia Hall, meanwhile, leaves her birdie putt short but saves par to stay at two under.

Another par for Kordapublished at 16:33 British Summer Time 31 July
Korda -1, Jutanugarn +1, Yin -2 (12)

Nelly Korda is on the par-three 12th and has about 30 feet left for birdie - ooof almost! It clips the edge of the hole and lips out.
Four straight pars now for the world number one.
