Amy Young’s Lead in Women’s PGA Championship Shakes Up the Field; Hull Struggles but Remains Positive

Amy Young is currently leading the Women’s PGA Championship with a third-round score of 71, moving her to seven under par. Lauren Hartlage and Miyu Yamashita are close behind at five under par. Sara Schmelzel, who was tied for the lead with Young, dropped to four under par after shooting a 74 in the third round.

England’s Charlie Hull came within touching distance of the leaders but suffered a setback when she hit a triple bogey on the 17th hole. She finished the day with a round of 72 and is now at one under par. Despite this setback, Hull remains positive and optimistic heading into the final round on Sunday.

Young, who has five LPGA Tour wins but has yet to secure a major career victory, is determined to make history in the final round. She remains focused on embracing the moment and staying present, regardless of the outcome. Thailand’s Payaree Ananarukarn also missed out on the third round, marking the first ace at the Women’s PGA Championship since 2018. Competition remains fierce as players look to make their mark on women’s golf.
