American Angel flies to top of leaderboard in Thailand

Angel Yin has birdied three of her final four holes on the front nine to help set up an eight-under 64 to take a five-stroke lead into the final round of the LPGA Thailand tournament.

The American had a three-round total of 21-under 195 at Siam Country Club’s Pattaya Old Course.

Sponsor invite Akie Iwai of Japan, who led after the first two rounds, shot 71 and dropped into second place on Saturday.

The 22-year-old earned her LPGA tour membership after finishing in a tie for fifth at the LPGA Final Qualifier last year.

World No.2 Jeeno Thitikul, who turned 22 on Thursday, shot 69, as did fellow Thai Moriya Jutanugarn to be joint-third at 15 under.

Defending champion Patty Tavatanakit (65) is 12 under, with 2023 winner Lilia Vu (74) of the United States seven over.

Gabriela Ruffels is the best-placed *********** in a tie for 39th at three under after her round of 72.

Steph Kyriacou (75) is two over, with Grace Kim (75) a further six shots adrift.

The event is the first stop of the LPGA’s so-called Asian swing before the tour moves to Singapore and China over the next two weeks.
