Miyu Yamashita vai para a rodada final do Maybank Championship com duas tacadas de vantagem, depois de um 67 (cinco abaixo do par) neste sábado, com a campeã defensora em busca do primeiro bicampeonato em Kuala Lumpur.
A vencedora do Women's British Open de 2025 chegou a 18 abaixo na semana, num total de 198 após 54 buracos no Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club. “Foi uma rodada muito boa também hoje”, disse ela. “Tive algumas situações complicadas durante a rodada, mas consegui passar por elas e terminar sem perder nenhuma tacada, então estou muito satisfeita com isso.”
A rodada do dia foi da chinesa Yan Liu, um 63 construído com um eagle, nove birdies e dois bogeys que a levou a dividir o segundo lugar. Pauline Roussin-Bouchard, líder da primeira rodada, igualou os 67 dela. “Eu realmente gostei do dia de hoje”, disse Yan. “Acho que meu swing está numa posição muito boa e meu putting estava pegando fogo hoje.”
Yamashita venceu aqui no ano passado num playoff de três jogadoras. “Claro que ganhar um título já é algo bem especial, mas eu gosto muito deste campo e venho recebendo muito apoio dos torcedores daqui”, disse ela.
Na semana passada Yuri Yoshida levou o BMW Ladies Championship na Coreia do Sul, a quarta vencedora japonesa no LPGA Tour nesta temporada ao lado de Yamashita, Shiho Kuwaki e Yuna Nishimura; o 66 dela neste sábado a deixou 11 abaixo.
O desafio inglês parece distante. O 72 de Charley Hull a deixou nove abaixo, empatada em 18º, enquanto Lottie Woad subiu acima da compatriota para 10 abaixo com um 65 que ainda a deixa oito tacadas atrás. A excursão asiática termina na próxima semana em Omitama, nos arredores de Tóquio, onde é disputado o Toto Japan Classic.
