:00:27. > :00:35.Welcome to the picturesque Fife on the Scottish east coast. In amongst
:00:36. > :00:37.the tranquillity of the best women golfers on the planet are battling
:00:38. > :00:45.against themselves and the elements in a bid to lift the season, the
:00:46. > :00:50.Ricoh women's British Open. In these conditions it really is a
:00:51. > :00:54.spectacular setting but the wind is beginning to whip up and as
:00:55. > :00:58.Kingsbarns has already shown us this week, it can change very quickly.
:00:59. > :01:02.Those out early will be looking to put the pressure on. It is an
:01:03. > :01:09.international trio leading the way on day three. From South Korea,
:01:10. > :01:20.In-Kyung Kim. The 29-year-old has already won twice on the LPGA this
:01:21. > :01:30.year. From the USA, world number to, Lexi Thomson, a major winner in
:01:31. > :01:35.2014. Flying the home flag, 21-year-old Georgia Hall. She
:01:36. > :01:48.currently sits top of the ladies European Tour Order of Merit. So,
:01:49. > :02:00.In-Kyung Kim leads after her 68, two ahead of Lexi Thompson and Georgia
:02:01. > :02:08.Hall. Ally McDonald is on 8-under and Jodi Ewart-Shadoff another shot
:02:09. > :02:12.back. Charley Hull and Mel Reid are still in the mix on 5-under par. So,
:02:13. > :02:22.to the leaders. On the tee, from England, Georgia
:02:23. > :02:42.Hall. A big 48 hours coming up for this
:02:43. > :02:49.young player. Many eyes on her. She has got away to a good start,
:02:50. > :03:07.excellent. On the TV from career, In-Kyung Kim. -- BT from
:03:08. > :03:18.Korea. Well, on she goes our Championship leader. That will end
:03:19. > :03:33.up very nicely indeed. The leaders are off. Let's take a
:03:34. > :03:38.look back at some of the early starters. 2013 Champion Stacy Lewis
:03:39. > :03:47.began the day two under-par. This bought a birdie to finish on 18. --
:03:48. > :03:56.for a birdie. Very nicely done and what around it was! Nine birdies on
:03:57. > :04:03.the way to a 6-under par for Championship. Her partner was also
:04:04. > :04:09.going along very well. This, her second shot went to the park four
:04:10. > :04:16.ninth. Right at the flag and that would be a tap in for birdie to move
:04:17. > :04:25.into 7-under. To the 17th now and a birdie putt. That would be an eight
:04:26. > :04:30.to take her to just one back from the lead. To the final hole and
:04:31. > :04:37.another birdie putt but this one was to set a New Course record. So close
:04:38. > :04:41.but she would tap that into equalled the 64 set by Michelle Wie on
:04:42. > :04:47.Thursday but more importantly was in the clubhouse from 10-under par.
:04:48. > :04:53.Very happy with today. I barely made the cut yesterday. I tried to play
:04:54. > :04:57.some good golf this morning. The perfect condition for scoring. The
:04:58. > :05:02.greens were a little bit quicker, so it was better to have faster greens.
:05:03. > :05:09.The greens were really slow the past couple of days and I really
:05:10. > :05:15.struggled with the putt. Jaye Marie green and Caroline Matheson making
:05:16. > :05:34.good of the early conditions. The good start for Jodi Ewart-Shadoff.
:05:35. > :05:42.Two time winner goes in on four under-par. Let's go out on the
:05:43. > :05:52.course with the commentators. First, Maureen. A fine T-shirt at this
:05:53. > :05:59.opening hole. It has given Georgia Hall a good opportunity of birdie.
:06:00. > :06:03.Up the hill a little on the left. That was a confidently stroked putt.
:06:04. > :06:16.The young Englishwoman can not have hoped for a better start. Second
:06:17. > :06:21.hole, McDonald. Par-5, second shot. Bunkers on the right of the green,
:06:22. > :06:30.right in front of the television tower. Trying to shoot it on. It is
:06:31. > :06:41.doing very well indeed. Look at this! What a little beauty!
:06:42. > :06:58.Choi at the 3rd. A bogey putt. She is getting closer but still work to
:06:59. > :07:05.do. McDonald at the 2nd after that cracking second shot. This is for a
:07:06. > :07:14.three. Just ran out of gas. That is a nice birdie after the drop shot at
:07:15. > :07:26.the 1st, even Stephen after two. Came just far enough back. But bit
:07:27. > :07:35.of spin on this one. Very nicely done. Not the longest of it is but
:07:36. > :07:44.an exquisite short iron player. -- hitters. Third green and Lexi
:07:45. > :07:53.Thompson. I am not sure what happened there. Don't know whether
:07:54. > :07:59.holders. -- where the hole is. A mile short. Must be seven feet
:08:00. > :08:06.short. Leader by one and a birdie chance here at the 2nd. A nice role
:08:07. > :08:20.on it. A very nice role on it. Just seemed to hug the surface. She moves
:08:21. > :08:29.to 12-under. Fresh off a birdie, Kim has moved to 12-under par. Georgia
:08:30. > :08:36.Hall birdied the first. Stacy Lewis, what around for her! She was round
:08:37. > :08:43.in 65. This was at the 15th. At this stage when she was 5-under. Note
:08:44. > :08:50.that in and took home 26-under. Former champion in 2013. -- nudged
:08:51. > :08:58.that in. A bit of a breeze and no rain. At the 16th she played this
:08:59. > :09:07.beauty. Second shot. Sweet as that. Write down the flag and left her the
:09:08. > :09:17.simplest of birdie putts. A old 62. At the 17th, she found the green.
:09:18. > :09:25.Another one into the bottom of the Cup. At this stage, she is flying up
:09:26. > :09:33.the leaderboard. At the 18th, a beautiful approach. A little down
:09:34. > :09:39.the slope. A powerful strike. Nine birdies on the card. Very
:09:40. > :09:44.impressive. She is currently lying in fourth position. Amy caught up
:09:45. > :09:50.with her. With the conditions we have hand, knowing you had a few
:09:51. > :09:55.shots to make up, you must have been delighted to see the sun shining in
:09:56. > :10:00.benign conditions. At the British Open you need to make some birdies.
:10:01. > :10:06.We were making birdies. Conditions were hard and I was still making
:10:07. > :10:21.birdies. A great way to finish the day. Going back and forth and making
:10:22. > :10:28.putts was cool. Jaye Marie green. That one sliding across the face of
:10:29. > :10:36.the hole. What around she has had today! She is just taking a lot of
:10:37. > :10:44.care here. She taps that in for a 67. Out in 31. A couple of ugly
:10:45. > :10:49.blobs in the middle of the back nine but it adds up to a fine effort. Not
:10:50. > :10:56.many players putt with a glove on but Lexi does. You can see the tilt
:10:57. > :11:09.of the Cup. It will move right to left. Christopher Columbus. Would
:11:10. > :11:14.have done better with a hockey stick and an orange, I think. Most
:11:15. > :11:34.unusual. A stroke thrown away therefore Lexi.
:11:35. > :11:53.Maria, the older sister of the defending champion, a wonderful
:11:54. > :11:59.player in her own right. She moves to 8-under. 23 years of age. I don't
:12:00. > :12:07.think she liked her sister stealing the limelight last year. Kim drove
:12:08. > :12:13.into trouble last year and found a huge bunker. Only ad farms it to
:12:14. > :12:18.here. This is a difficult shot. Without a background it is difficult
:12:19. > :12:29.for your depth perception. You have to trust your yardage. A little
:12:30. > :12:39.further past than it looks. She does not seem too happy. She looks a
:12:40. > :12:49.little ruffled. Jodi Ewart-Shadoff lying second. Short fly here. Very
:12:50. > :12:58.short. Beautifully judged. There have been a couple of to is here
:12:59. > :13:08.already today. Kewn with a birdie chance at the 9th. -- Kim. Bangs it
:13:09. > :13:14.in. This is a good-looking card. 20 of three 's. Georgia Hall came off a
:13:15. > :13:35.little short here on the third. A little untidy. Jodi Ewart-Shadoff
:13:36. > :13:46.with a birdie chance and she does. That was nicely done. Kim has played
:13:47. > :13:53.away rather untidily up the third. Still a chance of saving par with
:13:54. > :14:00.the good part down the hill. Will not be that fast with the rain
:14:01. > :14:01.tumbling out of the skies again. Look at the line rolling end over
:14:02. > :14:23.end. That is a fantastic four. Par putt for Georgia Hall. This has
:14:24. > :14:43.been the second hardest hole on the course. Bit of a tricky spot. I
:14:44. > :14:49.think she thought she had that one. Let's have a look at the leaderboard
:14:50. > :14:57.as it stands in round three. That lovely 25 footer at the 3rd. A great
:14:58. > :15:01.round. Early doors. As we go down the leaderboard, Mel Reid has made
:15:02. > :15:04.three birdies this morning, moving to 8-under. Lexi is struggling a
:15:05. > :15:32.little bit. That is one of the best we have seen
:15:33. > :15:39.today. Just tiptoed over the hollow. This is fantastic stuff. Just
:15:40. > :15:48.tiptoeing along and rolling the odd one in. 8-under par. A big group at
:15:49. > :15:56.eight and. Just a slightly longer to shot gives you a glimpse of the
:15:57. > :16:04.flag. Sounded sweet. Another crackerjack. Two wonderful shots.
:16:05. > :16:18.They are the leaders and we can see why now. The ball just spins away.
:16:19. > :16:30.That is what it should be. The ball first. You should have told me this
:16:31. > :16:43.a long time ago. At this stage she was 5-under par. Not many birdies
:16:44. > :16:54.here today at this awkward pin. A chance for Georgia Hall. I like the
:16:55. > :17:03.pink fingernails. Maybe they are for good luck. Did you try it? I'd just
:17:04. > :17:08.do my toenails. Half an hour ago looked like we were going to get a
:17:09. > :17:13.soaking and now it looks rather pleasant. Good angle to putt from, I
:17:14. > :17:31.would say, from this side, wouldn't you? A little bit left to right. The
:17:32. > :17:41.more of the break you can take out. They did not like that. A very
:17:42. > :17:46.hesitant stroke. Not a good one. Georgia Hall for her part. This is
:17:47. > :18:00.crucial. Short at the last. A lovely approach. Very solid. Just feels a
:18:01. > :18:13.little bit of deep breathing going on. Something to settle and get the
:18:14. > :18:20.round going. At the 9th. The second. A bit of check on that. More than a
:18:21. > :18:26.bit of check. A superb shot. Beautifully struck. I think if
:18:27. > :18:37.Georgia gets hold of one, she can certainly chase it on. I think it
:18:38. > :18:46.would be a big relief right now. She really smacked that one, did not
:18:47. > :18:54.hold back. Past the bunker. And it is setting up for a nice eagle putt.
:18:55. > :19:02.A beautiful shot. That was a honey Bunch and a half. She will not know
:19:03. > :19:08.how beautiful it is. That is a beauty. Another one finds the bottom
:19:09. > :19:14.of the Cup. She is more than tiptoeing up the leaderboard, she is
:19:15. > :19:23.flying up it. Such the shoot out tomorrow with all these low scores.
:19:24. > :19:41.In-Kyung Kim does like a practice swing. Those grabby ones. She won't
:19:42. > :19:55.want it again. Delightfully played. What is the strike? Just nipped it.
:19:56. > :20:06.Sometimes you can over read a putt. This is for an eagle two. She has
:20:07. > :20:17.got it. Moves from 9-under 211 under after a gorgeous tee shot. An
:20:18. > :20:24.absolutely perfect putt. Kim, after a lovely chip on here has this for
:20:25. > :20:31.her birdie. Taps it in and leads by two. Kim, 13-under an Georgia Hall
:20:32. > :20:42.11-under. In the clubhouse at 11-under. In-Kyung Kim a long way
:20:43. > :20:52.short of this flag on the past three sevenths. Not a long way short. What
:20:53. > :21:01.a tramline. Third birdie of the day and a couple of drop shots. It all
:21:02. > :21:10.adds to 8-under. Caroline Masson choosing a very good week to hit
:21:11. > :21:22.some form. Very solid play from the German player. Championship leader
:21:23. > :21:31.Kim is frisky. She is like a young puppy. Jumping about. Looks almost
:21:32. > :21:40.childlike. Wonderful to see. Look at that. Wax it up onto the green and
:21:41. > :21:49.looks astonished. Another spanking to shot by Georgia Hall. You know
:21:50. > :21:59.how impressive is this young Englishwoman. Played twice in this
:22:00. > :22:11.Championship as an amateur. Was an amateur with Lydia a few years ago.
:22:12. > :22:23.Caroline Masson. Come on, come on. Yes, yes. Surely, surely not. That
:22:24. > :22:34.will count the same as a big, booming 280-yard drive. That little
:22:35. > :22:44.one gives her a 67. Everything very still. Hardly a breath of wind. If
:22:45. > :22:52.she has hit it, if she has hit it. She did. Well done! Was worried it
:22:53. > :23:06.would stop a couple of inches short. That was a wonderful stuff. Captain
:23:07. > :23:10.Ahab caddying for her. Can Georgia Hall match In-Kyung Kim's birdie? It
:23:11. > :23:30.is still a three shot lead. There is a little happy chap. Danny
:23:31. > :23:35.Massingham, one of our librarian boys. Here's wide had a baby
:23:36. > :23:42.yesterday. People kept saying that Danny had a baby yesterday. EP did,
:23:43. > :23:47.he would be worth millions. It was his wife. Our leader. Let's see
:23:48. > :23:56.where this ends up. It is quite acceptable. It is not the worst shot
:23:57. > :24:01.in the world. And yet, I don't know, the exuberance of youth. The exceeds
:24:02. > :24:11.rents of youth. That's the way it goes. Always carry two umbrella. A
:24:12. > :24:17.packet of some jeers and a thermos flask, thermals. All day long
:24:18. > :24:26.chattering away and smiling. Where are we? Oh, Joy! Georgia Hall, the
:24:27. > :24:36.21-year-old from Dorset. They are all cheering her on from that
:24:37. > :24:42.county. Turned pro in 2014. So, only starting on this great adventure
:24:43. > :24:54.that is professional golf. That is a great shot. Very, very impressive. A
:24:55. > :25:08.lucky escape here for McDonald on the par-5 3rd shot. Quite an unsure
:25:09. > :25:15.late in green up. A miracle. The miracle has happened. Just when you
:25:16. > :25:25.are hoping to get close, you pop one in and put down three and move on.
:25:26. > :25:40.Came for her third consecutive birdie. Look at that one Tanni
:25:41. > :25:47.across the green. In she goes. This is a to Mendis start from In-Kyung
:25:48. > :25:59.Kim. There is clear water now between her and the rest of the
:26:00. > :26:04.field. Now, much closer and Georgia Hall trying to match that birdie.
:26:05. > :26:13.Does not want to drop too far behind. Can she do it? Yes, she can.
:26:14. > :26:20.This is a great match developing between these two. A ding-dong
:26:21. > :26:29.battle. Look at that! Three twos. Good Lord! Well, In-Kyung Kim
:26:30. > :26:40.forging a highway ahead but Reid has tiptoed up to 9-under. A fascinating
:26:41. > :26:49.battle is ensuing. The rear with the shortest hole on the golf course and
:26:50. > :26:57.only a wedge. That should come in from there. That is a very sharp
:26:58. > :27:06.play. Surely not. Anything hit over the left-hand bunker sweeps back in.
:27:07. > :27:14.Look at that! The university, Old Course hotel. It can tell a story or
:27:15. > :27:24.two. As we drift along the coastline, it is about 12 and a half
:27:25. > :27:31.kilometres from Kingsbarns. There was a view of what Georgia was
:27:32. > :27:34.facing. He has to act this right into the heart of the green and let
:27:35. > :28:07.the slopes feed it down to the flag. Come on. Are you come. That is a
:28:08. > :28:08.fine effort. Almost holding one here at the 12th. Just attending to
:28:09. > :28:27.business now. That moves 10-under. Five behind In-Kyung Kim. Georgia
:28:28. > :28:38.Hall has already had one eagle so far today. Doesn't half move the
:28:39. > :28:51.score along. This is going to be slow. She has a little rise to come
:28:52. > :28:56.up. I'll she comes. A little bit strong. Lost the line a bit. It
:28:57. > :29:03.happens sometimes when the greens are slow and there are moisture --
:29:04. > :29:10.there is moisture on them. A par saving attempt at 14. I thought it
:29:11. > :29:22.had to come from there as well. It just held its line. That is her
:29:23. > :29:30.first dropped shot of the day. 32 with four birdies. No birdie so far
:29:31. > :29:36.coming on the back nine. A bit of swing on this baby. Turning hard
:29:37. > :29:40.from left to right. She has hold some beauty so far. This for a
:29:41. > :29:54.birdie at number eight but an unlikely one. It was a very good
:29:55. > :30:00.effort, wasn't it? Tiptoed along the edge of that rich. Beautifully
:30:01. > :30:08.judged. Checking the football scores and Luton 5-1 up. Pretty impressive.
:30:09. > :30:23.Everything down the left side. Can she hit it? Oh, no! Right in the
:30:24. > :30:30.jaws, jeepers creepers. Just a par. Look at that, three two As on the
:30:31. > :30:42.card so, 12-under, a very good opening nine holes.
:30:43. > :30:49.After an adventurous second shot eventually makes a par at the 8th.
:30:50. > :30:57.Certainly a birdie opportunity missed for both the last two in the
:30:58. > :31:03.final pairing. That's just about all that Georgia Hall can see for her
:31:04. > :31:10.second shot on the ninth. Got to fly it right up onto the back ledge. Sit
:31:11. > :31:30.down there. Just caught a little bit of a flyer
:31:31. > :31:34.there. It is finished in an awful sport. It's when you trap a bit of
:31:35. > :31:38.grass between the club and the ball and it just eliminates some of the
:31:39. > :31:49.backspin. Oh, my lord. Fingers crossed it was made by a rabbit. Now
:31:50. > :31:54.it is an eagle putt but Jodi Ewart Shadoff but realistically down in
:31:55. > :31:58.two for her good birdie, it has to hurry. Two good shots to get it to
:31:59. > :32:06.the front edge of the green on this long par five. Well, this is how the
:32:07. > :32:11.US team is shake the -- shaping up. There are ten there, names that are
:32:12. > :32:15.probably going to make the team. Two captains picks, which is down to the
:32:16. > :32:19.captain. Will come to Scotland, to the
:32:20. > :32:19.women's British Open. A huge week on the
:32:20. > :32:21.Will come to Scotland, to the women's British Open. A huge week on
:32:22. > :32:25.the golfing calendar but for you, looking ahead to the Solheim Cup,
:32:26. > :32:29.how big a week is this for you? It's a big week and a big week for the
:32:30. > :32:36.players, a bigger week for the players. A lot of vying for the two
:32:37. > :32:39.spots. I'm waiting to see how players lay out, the Rolex rankings,
:32:40. > :32:42.a lot of things can switch come Sunday. I'll wait until that happens
:32:43. > :32:48.and get my two pics and we'll be on to Des Moines. Two pics, how many
:32:49. > :32:52.players are you looking at? Well, probably six or seven players but
:32:53. > :32:56.I'm really looking at and that really have a good chance. It's not
:32:57. > :33:01.like I'm ranking them, really, I could slot anybody in and they'd do
:33:02. > :33:04.well for me, so I've just got to think what's best for the team and
:33:05. > :33:10.what's best for the camaraderie and go from there. We all look forward
:33:11. > :33:14.to the Solheim Cup, it's one of the best events on the ladies' Tour.
:33:15. > :33:21.Georgia Hall to get a free drop from that ugly spot they've all been in
:33:22. > :33:24.and dropped it here. They must have been practising. Still tricky, don't
:33:25. > :33:29.be greedy. Make sure you get it on the green.
:33:30. > :33:51.Look at that, a bit of turbulence if your aeroplane was going through
:33:52. > :33:55.there, I'm sure. Lexi Thompson has had a very disappointing outward
:33:56. > :34:02.nine, of 38. She's got to start making some inroads. I think she was
:34:03. > :34:07.listening. That's more like it, Lexi.
:34:08. > :34:19.Georgia Hall has got this little one to drop, just one shot. At the 9th.
:34:20. > :34:27.I.K. Kim made par. So George, four behind. -- Georgia Hall, four
:34:28. > :34:34.behind. Lexi Thompson here on 11, having an iron in for her second
:34:35. > :34:41.shot. It's a long hitter that didn't look or sound very good. I guess it
:34:42. > :34:50.did, I apologise! It looked very odd, but she's on the green.
:34:51. > :34:59.Here's Jutanugarn, third shot in 15 par-5. She's going to want to knock
:35:00. > :35:03.it close and she does. It's very important to keep up with the field.
:35:04. > :35:15.There's a lot of birdies being made out there. Lexi Thompson here on 11,
:35:16. > :35:19.with a long eagle putt. She's got a little bit to work with, but not too
:35:20. > :35:28.much. Just needs to get it there, but that's been her problem. To find
:35:29. > :35:34.the pace. Here's Jutanugarn, her birdie on 15. To go into double
:35:35. > :35:40.digits. Much better stroke. Much firmer.
:35:41. > :35:51.Right at the bottom of the cut, she's happy. Well, the sea is calm,
:35:52. > :35:56.but the clouds over Carnoustie Way look very ominous. Lexi Thompson
:35:57. > :36:02.after that misjudged first putt gets away with it, saved the day. My
:36:03. > :36:10.word, it's hard work though. She's still in the mix, not 1 million
:36:11. > :36:22.miles away. 9-under par. Both Kim and Hall parred the tenth, this is
:36:23. > :36:25.the par-5 11th. Kim, driving. Pretty generous fairways, but you don't
:36:26. > :36:30.want to go left. That's all right, that's a good shot. Skipping away.
:36:31. > :36:34.Very attractive corner of the course, the stand of trees behind
:36:35. > :36:42.the tee which separates the hole is, a very pretty corner. Jutanugarn,
:36:43. > :36:49.second shot to the 16th. She's 10-under now. Defending champion her
:36:50. > :36:54.sister fails to qualify. She's making up for it. Look out, a
:36:55. > :37:07.stunning shot. Keep it in the family. McDonald at the 12th.
:37:08. > :37:21.It's a good shot. For birdie on 16, Jutanugarn, to go 11-under, to go
:37:22. > :37:27.tight for second place at this moment and she does. -- tied for
:37:28. > :37:34.second place. She's been overshadowed by her sister but she's
:37:35. > :37:39.a very fine player. Now Bellerive at the back of the green, but it down
:37:40. > :37:44.to here, this for a palm four at the back of the hole -- Bill Reid. A sad
:37:45. > :37:48.way to finish after so many good things have happened during the
:37:49. > :37:56.course of the round. She disappears off the leaderboard. Still, a 69,
:37:57. > :38:03.could easily have been a 66. Check on the leaderboard. Kim still leads
:38:04. > :38:08.by four. Two at 11-under. You can see there's quite a crowd down to
:38:09. > :38:15.what, 9-under, who have a realistic chance. There's Mel Reid, 8-under
:38:16. > :38:20.for the Championship. You knew you had a few shots to make
:38:21. > :38:26.up, you had to go aggressive. Are you pleased with that aspect of how
:38:27. > :38:30.you approached today? Yes, it was a lot tougher for us, the wind was a
:38:31. > :38:34.bit, rain here and there and I didn't put a foot wrong. I didn't
:38:35. > :38:37.put a foot wrong, to be honest, I just felt I could have shot 65
:38:38. > :38:40.without doing much different. Something in assist -- 60s is always
:38:41. > :38:54.good on Saturday, Moving Day. COMMENTATOR:
:38:55. > :39:01.Nights approach from Kim, absolutely pin high down the breeze, never easy
:39:02. > :39:10.to judge. She is in command of the situation at the moment. Ally
:39:11. > :39:14.McDonald for her birdie on the 12th. Should just be a little bit left to
:39:15. > :39:26.right, to have a nice pace. Very nice run. She goes into double
:39:27. > :39:30.digits. I.K. Kim, and she's holed a lot of beauty is particularly on the
:39:31. > :39:32.front nine. This sort of distance has been Holding her fair share to
:39:33. > :39:44.extend the lead. She's done it again, right into the
:39:45. > :39:50.heart of the cup. 5-under, five birdies, no drops, 16-under, leads
:39:51. > :39:55.by five. Here's Lexi, after she was also in the bunker, leaving herself
:39:56. > :40:02.a tough pitch. She would probably have to land it the upper tier, get
:40:03. > :40:09.over the bunker and everything, trying to just... Yes, she hit that
:40:10. > :40:15.a little too heavy and the ball is coming back.
:40:16. > :40:26.After a nice birdie, I.K. Kim here on 12th, just a little snooze wage,
:40:27. > :40:33.110 yards -- a smooth Which. Continuing her amazing steady play
:40:34. > :40:37.today. Par-5 15th, the cup in a little hollow which gathers the ball
:40:38. > :40:48.up and it's right in the plughole. What a beauty. I.K. Kim to go
:40:49. > :40:54.17-under. To go 6-under for the day. Playing pretty much flawless golf
:40:55. > :41:02.today, only birdies, five birdies on the card. Actually six birdies on
:41:03. > :41:08.the card. Going to 17-under and a lead of six shot at this point, so
:41:09. > :41:15.Georgia really needs to make something happen not to make the gap
:41:16. > :41:20.too long. Ally McDonald not trying to make the mess even bigger, wants
:41:21. > :41:27.to make this one for bogey. To drop one. She goes to 9-under. A little
:41:28. > :41:33.bit of everything on this court today. Mix and match. A little
:41:34. > :41:38.opening for Georgia Hall, she's got 102. Six up the ridge behind,
:41:39. > :41:52.lovely, lovely shot. Georgia Hall leaving herself this
:41:53. > :42:00.for birdie after a Mendis third shot, here on 15, yes. She goes into
:42:01. > :42:11.double digits. Georgia Hall here for birdie, to go 12. Very much needed.
:42:12. > :42:21.Very nicely, Georgia moves into second place all by herself at
:42:22. > :42:25.12-under and their off to the 14th and it's a beautiful hole, a
:42:26. > :42:31.signature hole here and Ken was there earlier.
:42:32. > :42:38.The 14th here without any doubt as a signature hole, par-3 over the water
:42:39. > :42:41.to this green that's fairly narrow and it's much longer to the right
:42:42. > :42:45.side than left and club selection all-important. When you stand out
:42:46. > :42:50.here I always think of John Betjeman's poem, seaside Golf.
:42:51. > :42:57.Player cost of the edge of the water. Seaweed smells from Sandy
:42:58. > :43:01.caves and time and missed in whisk incoming tide, Atlanta's waves
:43:02. > :43:04.slapping the Sunni cliffs, lark song and the sounds in the air and
:43:05. > :43:10.splendour, splendour, everywhere. It is a delight. But perhaps this is
:43:11. > :43:14.the golfers' view. This is what it looks like from the green to the
:43:15. > :43:19.tee. There may be larks song in the air, I really, really couldn't care.
:43:20. > :43:23.Yelling a raucous cry of four, please, please, carried to the
:43:24. > :43:28.shore. Who cares about the seaside sounds all the lovely view? Just let
:43:29. > :43:35.me find my number two. It's that type of hole, you either love it or
:43:36. > :43:35.you hate it. COMMENTATOR:
:43:36. > :43:49.Georgia on the 14th. Good percentage shot, better than a
:43:50. > :44:00.percentage shot from Georgia Hall. How well she has played today. And
:44:01. > :44:04.nudges it in for the par 67. A very well controlled round, particularly
:44:05. > :44:13.early on. She hit some high quality I am shots. Maybe 66, tomorrow.
:44:14. > :44:21.Georgia Hall has already got one, two, three twos on her card. The
:44:22. > :44:27.rain is really increasing. To number four. Well, my goodness, she has got
:44:28. > :44:37.some fight in her. She creeps up just four shots behind now. Well,
:44:38. > :44:44.Jodi Ewart Shadoff and a bit of bother off the 16th tee. This is for
:44:45. > :44:48.par and it's dropped shot for her and she's going to move back, to
:44:49. > :44:52.9-under. Here's the leaderboard. I.K. Kim leads by four after that
:44:53. > :44:58.wonderful putt that Georgia Hall moved her to 13-under and Jutanugarn
:44:59. > :45:04.with a great round of 67, 11-under, in third spot. The 15th is a real
:45:05. > :45:19.three shot. Now, that's not very healthy. And I
:45:20. > :45:25.wonder if she's feeling the pressure exerted by Georgia Hall's last two
:45:26. > :45:30.birdies. Lead has been cut from six, 24-macro, in a matter of 15 minutes
:45:31. > :45:37.or so. Looking down to the 70s, the 17th green sits well the players. --
:45:38. > :45:45.17th, looking down. That's her third. Dropped a shot on 16, needs a
:45:46. > :45:47.good putt here to save her par. Georgia Hall with the ideal angle
:45:48. > :45:58.for her pitch. Doesn't like it. Well, it's OK though. She just
:45:59. > :46:02.pulled it a little bit. She was going to try to use the slope a
:46:03. > :46:08.little bit to ease the ball down to the hole but it's given her a
:46:09. > :46:14.chance. Now you would shut off needs this, she doesn't want to have
:46:15. > :46:19.back-to-back bogeys -- Jodi Ewart Shadoff needs this. That's going to
:46:20. > :46:31.draw her back to 8-under. So disappointingly, to do so much of
:46:32. > :46:37.your good work. I think Georgia Hall can sense a little chink in her
:46:38. > :46:42.partner's armour. Yes, you've got to feel this is a possum all pivotal
:46:43. > :46:47.point in the round. -- it's a possible pivotal point. She's
:46:48. > :46:54.birdied the last two. Check can she get one more? Hit it, oh, she's done
:46:55. > :47:00.it! Well, the glint of stealing her eye and how right you were, Ken. At
:47:01. > :47:09.the moment the gap is three and Kim has a very difficult putt left. For
:47:10. > :47:12.the first time today she's been put under a little bit of pressure. A
:47:13. > :47:16.little uphill, little movement to the right, must keep the pace on
:47:17. > :47:21.this. She's missed nothing so far today.
:47:22. > :47:35.Oh, very well done. That was a pressure putt.
:47:36. > :47:46.The caddy moves away. No... -- oh, that was very tiny indeed and very,
:47:47. > :47:59.very costly. Five has got to be the worst score
:48:00. > :48:02.that she makes from this tee shot that she leaked right here on 16.
:48:03. > :48:17.I'm getting nervous. Oh, well... It's making one mistake
:48:18. > :48:27.and following it with another. Never a good idea. Championship leader
:48:28. > :48:30.Kim, second shot to the 16th. Georgia Hall in the rough with the
:48:31. > :48:36.tee shot bunker with her second, great chance to increase her lead.
:48:37. > :48:48.And she's played a corker, absolute stunning shot.
:48:49. > :48:59.Jodie, desperately wanting a bogey after two birdies on the trot. She's
:49:00. > :49:08.left it in the jaws. Well, she'll tap that in for an inward nine of 37
:49:09. > :49:14.- today of 71. Promised so much better at one stage, a disappointing
:49:15. > :49:19.finish. Three groups left on the golf course. A sliding downhill lie
:49:20. > :49:34.here from McDonald's. It's a good shot. That will come
:49:35. > :49:38.back a little bit off the slope for her. It was a very brave shot
:49:39. > :49:43.indeed, it's getting better all the time. Georgia Hall -- Georgia Hall
:49:44. > :49:49.made a bad decision with her second shot, put it here. Not a bad
:49:50. > :49:56.contact. And a very fair result, she's got it on the green. Two putts
:49:57. > :50:05.for a five. She might lose two shots here. Cracking tee shot from Lexi
:50:06. > :50:16.Thompson here on 17. Perfect view of the pin. And another very fine I am
:50:17. > :50:22.shot, my goodness, that was unlucky. Nearly took a sharp left-hand turn
:50:23. > :50:28.into the hole. Good judgment needed here for Georgia Hall to get this
:50:29. > :50:33.close. This is her fourth shot, quite a swing up the slope, starts
:50:34. > :50:38.to turn, keep up. It's just going to stay too high, but that's a very
:50:39. > :50:48.good effort. It's gone a thought or two past. -- it's gone a foot or two
:50:49. > :50:53.past. McDonald, a lovely rescue club into here, down the hill,
:50:54. > :51:00.aggressive, solid, what a great three that is. That brings her back
:51:01. > :51:10.into double figures. 10-under. Our leader after that very good second
:51:11. > :51:16.shot, a putt for three. A good view from here.
:51:17. > :51:24.Nice strike. It's turning left, turning left, not quite enough
:51:25. > :51:26.steam, but that's a good solid safe four and at least one shot further
:51:27. > :51:41.ahead. Quite a short birdie putt here for
:51:42. > :51:45.Thompson, but she missed one on the last green that was about half this
:51:46. > :51:56.distance, but she makes no mistake. She picks one up.
:51:57. > :52:02.Well, I'm sure you've heard the expression grasping the nettle.
:52:03. > :52:08.Well, that's just what Kim is doing here. She's having a card at this.
:52:09. > :52:11.It's a long way to go. Danger everywhere, mostly in front. She
:52:12. > :52:19.finds the green, it will be a very brave shot. Oh, and she has. That's
:52:20. > :52:24.a fantastic shot. She was miles back. She must have been 80 yards
:52:25. > :52:29.behind Thompson's tee shot and she's put it eight or ten feet from the
:52:30. > :52:36.hole. A wonderful shot. Georgia Hall can probably just get a little sight
:52:37. > :52:42.of the flag here on 17. She will run round the corner and see where that
:52:43. > :52:48.finishes. Stay there. Just working its way onto the lower level. Such a
:52:49. > :52:56.dangerous hole but what are shot of I.K. Kim in her -- in there, with a
:52:57. > :53:01.5-wood. A big tee shot from Lexi Thompson, 18, only left herself a
:53:02. > :53:14.flick in. All sorts of moving parts in the American's swing.
:53:15. > :53:31.McDonald has acquitted herself extremely well today. Just look at
:53:32. > :53:33.where Georgia Hall is aiming this, way to the right. Over the ridge,
:53:34. > :53:46.desperate to get it close. Oh dear, oh dear, oh, it's doing
:53:47. > :53:54.better than I thought. Still seven feet away. Struggling, struggling as
:53:55. > :54:01.she comes to the end of her around. Not too much breaking this putt for
:54:02. > :54:11.Ally McDonald. Go on, hit it. A little shy.
:54:12. > :54:20.It's a closing par for a 70. Well played.
:54:21. > :54:30.Takes a long time to put the ball down, Georgia Hall, as if it's major
:54:31. > :54:37.surgery! Now Kim for a birdie three at the 17th. This to increase her
:54:38. > :54:44.lead. This is a delicate one. It's a way. Tricky one down the left, very
:54:45. > :54:49.fast, slid away. If she taps that in it will be a very good four. I was
:54:50. > :54:54.hoping for a bit of decent crab last night when I went out for dinner,
:54:55. > :54:59.but I had a pathetic little helping so I obviously didn't get it from
:55:00. > :55:03.these boys. Another very, very difficult putt, a crucial putt. For
:55:04. > :55:11.Georgia Hall. No were drilled it passed.
:55:12. > :55:19.Georgia Hall for a birdie five to drop back to 12-under the card. Oh,
:55:20. > :55:22.my goodness gracious me. I think she's further away. See how quickly
:55:23. > :55:36.things can change. The leader now for her par four at
:55:37. > :55:40.the 17th and she's done it and she's heading towards almost one has to
:55:41. > :55:48.think an invincible position in this year's Championship. Can't see any
:55:49. > :55:56.sunbathers out there. Both players have driven. Kim up to the middle of
:55:57. > :56:00.the fairway, Georgia Hall pushed its way out of the right but has found a
:56:01. > :56:04.good life. Can't see much of the green of anything. Maybe just the
:56:05. > :56:08.top of the flag, over the bank. Can she missed the bunkers and find the
:56:09. > :56:19.green? She can indeed. Well done, that was a good shot. After the
:56:20. > :56:23.disastrous last couple of holes. Came second to the final hole, what
:56:24. > :56:29.unimpressive performance it has been. She's only dropped two shots
:56:30. > :56:31.in this Championship. The last bogey she had was that the first hole
:56:32. > :56:45.yesterday. And that one finds the heart of the
:56:46. > :56:53.green again. Six birdies, no bogeys so far today. Next week we have live
:56:54. > :57:31.golf back on the BBC. The USPGA Championship from America, live!
:57:32. > :57:37.More good stuff to look forward to but now Kim, who has given is a
:57:38. > :57:42.wonderful exhibition of golf today. This might go in for three and if it
:57:43. > :57:49.does, good luck to you, my lovely. It's heading well.
:57:50. > :57:59.A rainbow, there have been a few of those around this week. Two for the
:58:00. > :58:03.price of one. Nantes -- now Georgia Hall needs to hold this birdie putt
:58:04. > :58:07.on the 18th if she wishes to be in the last group tomorrow. She's
:58:08. > :58:24.currently on under. Maria Jutanugarn is in at 11-under. This 469. --
:58:25. > :58:30.this, for eight 69. Almost. Such wonderful play, four twos on her
:58:31. > :58:35.card but the Finnish blighted with the bogey on 16 and the double on 17
:58:36. > :58:42.and at the moment she is six shots back.
:58:43. > :58:52.No Kim for a four at the last after a magnificent round of golf. This
:58:53. > :58:57.was 66. Well done, well done indeed. Marred slightly by that very, very
:58:58. > :59:04.slow play. So that's the end of day three. Kim leads by six shots after
:59:05. > :59:08.that wonderful round of 66. She and Georgia Hall played together. Took a
:59:09. > :59:09.long time but in many ways it was worth it. Let's hear what
:59:10. > :59:13.long time but in many ways it was worth it. Let's hear what they had
:59:14. > :59:16.to say. You have the lead. How do you
:59:17. > :59:21.prepare for tomorrow and how much are you looking forward to going out
:59:22. > :59:25.there and defending your lead? It's really privileged to play this golf
:59:26. > :59:31.course. I really enjoy when it's sunny. When it doesn't but still, I
:59:32. > :59:34.really enjoyed playing the golf course and its everyday so
:59:35. > :59:40.different, how they set the pin positions and how they use the tee
:59:41. > :59:44.box. I was really enjoying today. Hopefully, I don't really know
:59:45. > :59:48.what's going to happen, but I look forward to the challenge. Tomorrow,
:59:49. > :59:53.you've just got to have a good start. It's 18 holes now. Today, I
:59:54. > :59:56.took it more steady because it is two rounds but tomorrow I'm going to
:59:57. > :00:02.go for a bit more I think and she has a six shot lead which is quite a
:00:03. > :00:05.lot, but if I can get a lot of birdies I might be close. It's all
:00:06. > :00:17.set up for a big final day at Kingsbarns and we'll be back
:00:18. > :00:20.tomorrow, to round up all the best of day four of the Ricoh Women's
:00:21. > :00:23.British Open. BBC Two at 11:30am. It's South Korea's I.K. Kim out in
:00:24. > :00:26.front going into that final day, a six shot lead over her closest
:00:27. > :00:29.competitors. It's hers to lose, but golf is a funny old game. It isn't
:00:30. > :00:49.over until it's over. See you tomorrow.
:00:50. > :00:50.The second half, Jermaine, very much...
:00:51. > :00:51...this season, the whole game in full
:00:52. > :00:55.It's been a knockout day in the Premier League.
:00:56. > :01:01.The second half, Jermaine, very much...
