Yuka Saso pushes for victory in Ford Championship
Yuka Saso showed perseverance and skill as she battled the tough conditions at the Seville Golf and Country Club in Gilbert, Arizona. Despite facing challenges and dropping off the leaderboard after a bogey and a double bogey, Saso managed to finish strong with two birdies in the last three holes, ending the day with a 69.
With a 54-hole score of 14-under 202, Saso positioned herself just one stroke behind leaders Carlota Ciganda, Hyo Joo Kim, and Sarah Schmeizal. Maja Stark also joined Saso at fourth place after shooting a 66.
The windy conditions added another layer of difficulty to the tournament, turning it into a mental battle for all contenders. Saso, however, adapted well to the challenges and displayed composure throughout the round.
As the tournament heads into the final day, Saso will be looking to make a strong push for the title. With several major winners in the mix and the unpredictable weather conditions, the stage is set for an exciting finish.
In anticipation of rainy weather on Sunday, organizers have adjusted the tee times for the final round. Players will go out in threes and use both the first and 10th tees to accommodate the conditions.
