Woad carded a one-under 70 on Saturday to sit at three under while Hull recovered from three early bogeys to sign for a 71, leaving herself five shots behind leader Yealimi Noh, at two under overall. The 30-year-old, who is chasing her maiden major title after being a runner-up on five occasions, crucially made birdies on the 15th and 16th holes as she fought back on the back nine and then scrambled to save par on the penultimate hole. "The first six holes I played like a 10 handicapper and I missed three putts I should have holed from inside five feet that would have kept me at level par instead of three over," Hull added. "Then I did have a bit of a bounce-back. I was pretty happy with the way I finished." On a day when the challenging windy conditions were again a feature on the Lancashire coast, American Noh was one of only nine players to end the third round under par as she climbed to the top of the leaderboard with a two-under 69.
