  1. Sixth birdie of the day for Kordapublished at 15:09 British Summer Time 4 August 2019

    N Korda -10 (12)

    Nelly Korda had a slight hiccup with a bogey on the 11th but is back on track for possibly the best round of the week with yet another birdie on the 12th.

  2. 67 for Thompsonpublished at 15:08 British Summer Time 4 August 2019

    Thompson -7 (F)

    Hinako Shibuno's golfing icon is world number three Lexi Thompson.

    But she has far outplayed the American this weekend. Thompson has just birdied the 18th to finish with a 67, seven under for the week.

  3. Pars for Shibuno and Buhaipublished at 15:03 British Summer Time 4 August 2019

    Shibuno -14, Buhai -11 (2)

    Shibuno's birdie putt curls round from right to left and just lips out. She's still smiling, obvs.

    Buhai doesn't come as close, hitting the ball a bit too hard and sending it past on the left. The South African gets in for par.

  4. Postpublished at 15:00 British Summer Time 4 August 2019

    Shibuno -14, Buhai -11 (1)

    Hinako Shibuno punches out of the rough and should get onto the green in three on the par-five second.

    Ashleigh Buhai lands a lovely third shot on the green. It spins forward and sets her up nicely for a birdie.

    Shibuno goes in the opposite direction, hitting her approach past and spinning it back towards the hole. She then runs up to grab her divot and pass it back to her caddie. Surely she is the nicest golfer (or even person?) that ever lived.

  5. Birdie for Lee6published at 14:58 British Summer Time 4 August 2019

    Lee6 -10 (5)

    Jeong-eun Lee6 is making moves up the leaderboard with her second birdie of the day coming on the fifth.

    Why is there a 6 in her name?

    Well, there are six players with her name on the Korean LPGA tour so they all go by different numbers. The oldest is Jeong-eun Lee1 and Jeong-eun Lee6 is the youngest. Every day's a school day.

  6. Par for Pressel and Parkpublished at 14:56 British Summer Time 4 August 2019

    Park -11, Pressel -10 (2)

    Agonisingly close again for Park Sung-hyun as she has to settle for par on the second. Morgan Pressel almost sinks her birdie putt too.

  7. Second bogey for Hullpublished at 14:54 British Summer Time 4 August 2019

    Hull -8 (3)

    Mixed start for Charley Hull. She got into trouble on the par-four third and comes away with a bogey.

    That makes it bogey-birdie-bogey at the start of the Woburn member's final round.

  8. Postpublished at 14:53 British Summer Time 4 August 2019

    Shibuno -14, Buhai -11 (1)

    Hinako Shibuno got plenty of high fives on her way to the second tee. She sends the ball into the rough just to the left of the fairway.

    Ashleigh Buhai's drive goes in the same direction, but bounces out of the long stuff and onto the fairway.

  9. Bogey for Lawpublished at 14:51 British Summer Time 4 August 2019

    Law -7 (4)

    Bronte Law's challenge seems to be fizzling out quicker than you can say Woburn.

    A second bogey in the first three holes leaves her seven off the lead.

  10. Buhai drops a shot, par for Shibunopublished at 14:50 British Summer Time 4 August 2019

    Shibuno -14, Buhai -11 (1)

    As predicted, the par putt is a bit too long for Ashleigh Buhai. Her ball slips past the right of the hole.

    Hinako Shibuno is seemingly undistracted by her manager's quite frankly terrifying outfit and sinks a five footer for par.

  11. From Samurai warrior to a clownpublished at 14:48 British Summer Time 4 August 2019

    So, Hinako Sibuno's manager Hiroshi Shigematsu said he had a different outfit for the final round.

    "I think I'm going to stay away from him," says Ken Brown.

    Since this is what he's wearing today then, yeah, that's probably best Ken.

  12. Back-to-back birdies for Salaspublished at 14:47 British Summer Time 4 August 2019

    Ko -10, Salas -12 (2)

    What a way to start the day for Lizette Salas. Lovely stuff.

  13. Postpublished at 14:46 British Summer Time 4 August 2019

    Shibuno -14, Buhai -12

    Ashleigh Buhai is in a horrible position. Her ball is in the bunker and her feet are out. Ew.

    She gets onto the green but has a very long par putt to come.

    Hinako Shibuno can't quite reach the hole with her birdie putt.

  14. Postpublished at 14:44 British Summer Time 4 August 2019

    Ko -10, Salas -11 (1)

    Ko Jin-young leaves the flag in, as per, for her birdie putt on the second.

    The ball doesn't curl in and it will just be a par.

  15. Postpublished at 14:42 British Summer Time 4 August 2019

    Shibuno -14, Buhai -12

    Hinako Shibuno's approach is a tad long. It rolls towards the back of the green and just stays on.

    Ashleigh Buhai is in a bunker to the left of the green. Will she be starting the same way she finished yesterday? (If you weren't following then, it wasn't pretty...)

  16. Par for Pressel and Parkpublished at 14:41 British Summer Time 4 August 2019

    Park -11, Pressel -10 (1)

    Morgan Pressel does well to make par on the first but Park Sung-hyun spurns the chance to begin for a birdie. It's as you were.

  17. Birdie for Hullpublished at 14:40 British Summer Time 4 August 2019

    Hull -9 (2)

    Charley Hull sinks her putt on the second to win back the shot she lost on the first. She's immediately back to nine under.

  18. Shibuno and Buhai tee offpublished at 14:38 British Summer Time 4 August 2019

    Shibuno -14, Buhai -12

    Hinako Shibuno smiles and bows as she makes her way towards the first tee. It's very hard not to love her.

    Ashleigh Buhai tees off first. The South African goes through a couple of practice swings, then smacks it down the left of the fairway.

    Shibuno touches her cap and bows to the crowd as she is announced. She then bows to the course before stepping up and hitting the ball down the middle. No sign of nerves there.

    The 20-year-old finds time for a couple more smiles and waves before heading off down the course.

  19. Leaderboardpublished at 14:34 British Summer Time 4 August 2019

  20. Park sets up birdie chancepublished at 14:33 British Summer Time 4 August 2019

    Park -11, Pressel -10

    Morgan Pressel's approach rolls off the green, Park Sung-hyun's is spot on though. Birdie chance for the South Korean.
