Michelle Wie also was not about to lose her position at the top, and remains in 2nd place alongside I.K. Kim at -8. Michelle shot a 3rd round 71. She had 5 birdies and 4 bogeys carded in the 3rd round. I.K. Kim also in a tie for 2nd place shot a 72, with 4 birdies & 4 bogeys. Many recall last season's win she had at the Lorena Ochoa Invitational, where she said before her final round that "if she won", she would donate her entire winners check to the charities. Well, she won and she did donate the entire check! Fairly quiet and reserved on the field when playing, this gal has a generous heart and is a great role model for young girls.
Paula Creamer managed to finish at -7 to hold onto 4th place soley. Australian Karrie Webb is right behind at -6, followed by M.J. Hur in 6th place at -5. The 7th position has a four-way tie consisting of: Stacy Lewis, Mika Miyazato, Juli Inkster and Pornanong Phatlum all at -4.
Cristie Kerr is currently sitting in a two-way tie at 16th place with a -2. Other notables, Suzann Pettersen is in a tie for 11th place at -3. She had only 2 birdies and carded 3 bogeys for her 3rd round play. English woman and Twitter friend Karen Stupples is currently in a tie for 35th, sitting at +4. If she can trim out those bogey's, she can certainly have room for a decent finish. Aussie Katherine Hull in in a tie for 30th at +3 and Christina Kim sits at +10 overall, in a tie at 53rd.
The Siam Country Club, Pattaya Old Course is certainly presenting some challenges for the ladies this week. Last years Champion Ai Miyazato who is currently in a tie at 23rd place, is +1 overall. She will have her work cut out for her to climb up the leader board in the final round. She is 10 strokes behind leader Yani Tseng and while I "never say never", she's going to need her "A" game to take this win from Yani, Michelle or I.K. Kim who have maintained their positions throughout this tourney!
