Don't forget she's a rookie, all these experiences will help her.

Well second season rookie anyway! But fair point.

She's a rookie and she's in her second season on tour so i thought that might make her a "second season" rookie, but i wouldn't quibble over it!

I may have referenced her problems earlier, but Lydia Ko looks to be back to her best. Phenomenal round ongoing here, really laying it down to the leader.

eagle eye

Leona flying in the Lotte, she's one off the lead after 8 holes of the third round and coming on strong.

eagle eye

Things change so quickly, one off the lead playing 11, she puts her second in the water and ends up with a bogey and while she's doing that Nelly Korda birdies and she's now four back.

eagle eye

Leona birdies 14 then eagles 15, one off the lead again.

eagle eye

An excellent 65 for Leona, unfortunately she's currently three back and it could be four or even five by the time Lydia Ko finished. Still it's by far the closest she's been going into the last round of an LPGA event. She has a great chance tomorrow of at least a really high finish.

Is it only The Golf Channel / NBC showing this?

Sky Sports usually have live lpga coverage for free on youtube, but I can't seem to find the link for this weeks event

Yeah that's where I normally go for it too. Very strange there's no word on it on either the main channel or youtube

eagle eye

Leona off to a good start, -2 through three holes and three back of the lead.

Rikand

Golf channel still the only way to watch this ?

ConcertKing

Finished T-2 with four others after shooting -5 for today and -21 for the tournament!

Really brilliant performance by Leona!

eagle eye

Huge result for her. She'll believe she belongs there after that, hopefully it'll lead to a win soon.

Great result. Only 2 bogies over 4 rounds.

The_Kew_Tour

Great to hear. Not too surprising as she seems be gradually getting closer and closer

Beaulieu

My God! Can you imagine being up against her down the final 9. I think this result (her 2nd Top 10 this season) is huge. She has to be amongst the strongest mentally out there on tour. Looks stronger & to be hitting it further too. Ireland's next Major champ I reckon.

Deeper Blue

Brilliant performance. It'd be great to see her make a run at the Solheim cup team, would be a first for an Irish woman I think.

Looked that up recently, yeah it seems she would be the first. Even if it doesn't happen next time round, I'd say it's more a matter of when not if.

Wombatman

Quality performance. Trending really well. Great to see her name up there with some real titans in the women's game.

Golfhead65

Leonas name has been mentioned as a potential Solheim Cup player, Sky Sports said a few weeks ago that The Solheim Cup captain has been watching her closely and as it seems she can't qualify through the European placings, a few good performances in the U.S will help her cause

Joe_ Public

Gonna be inside world top 100 when rankings are updated tomorrow, according to greg allen on rte, so looks like another milestone reached.

Deeper Blue

One thing that could work in her favour is that there's seemingly not many European ladies in great form. Might be a chance to make hay over the next few weeks.

DJIMI TRARORE

Great performance and result ,hopefully she will kick on and string together a run of results

RoadRunner

Does she lose her balance a little some of the time after going after it with the woods? I notice near the end of the highlight reel above she does some funny thing with her feet. (Didn't seem to affect the shots in anyway mind!)
