Duncan him soon Birdies No. He tied it in 13-14, but Bogeyed the following two holes.
Jutanugarn with water protecting the green number 18 hit his second shot over the green and hit the base of a tribune. He was not relieved because he was not close to the structure. That’s when he completely kidnapped his ball in his third shot and made a shot.
Jutanugarn took the ball quarter and kidnapped Par Putt, fell to 7. At the same time, Yin besieged 18 of them to connect Jutanugarn and Kim (70 to 70 with 70).
In the last group, Saigo and Duncan besieged number 18 to join Playoff. Duncan was the only player who didn’t target the stands. He threw a green eagle 10 meters beyond the hole, but he returned for Birdie.
