BRIDGEND COUNTY BOROUGH, WALES, AUG 1 – Miyu Yamashita holds a one-shot lead after a challenging round as Australians Steph Kyriacou, Grace Kim, and Minjee Lee survive the cut to continue competing.
- Miyu Yamashita maintained a narrow lead at the 2025 Women’s British Open in Porthcawl after a challenging third round on Saturday.
- Yamashita’s strong start with a seven-under 65 on Friday built a three-shot lead, but her Saturday 2-over 74 cut that lead to one stroke over Kim A-lim.
- Rio Takeda, another Japanese contender and two-time LPGA winner, stayed close despite early bogeys, while Kim also pressured with a flawless 67 featuring five birdies.
- Yamashita said, “I didn't feel like my game was quite there,” and plans to analyze her performance to improve for the final round tomorrow.
