Japan’s Miyu Yamashita continued her consistent form with another round of 68 (-4) at the 2026 Aramco Korea Championship to lead on 13-under-par with one round remaining.
The Major champion led by two shots overnight and began her day with a birdie at the first before a dropped shot on the second at New Korea Country Club.

Yamashita added further birdies on the eighth and 11th holes before finishing in style with back-to-back birdies on 16 and 17 to sit at the top of the leaderboard on 13-under-par.
“Today my shots are consistent, and I struggled with my putting a little bit. Tomorrow, I will stay focused on my shots within 100 yards. The greens also for me are a little bit difficult to read as well. I am also planning on eating Korean food tonight as well! I will do my best tomorrow,” said Yamashita.

Five-time Major champion Yani Tseng is in solo second place after firing a 66 (-6) on day three.
Tseng was bogey-free on moving day rolling in birdies on her third, eighth, 11th, 13th, 14th and 18th holes.
“I always really enjoy playing golf in Korea, I love the fans out here. They’re always cheering, it doesn’t matter what the result is and that’s a great motivation. It’s pretty cool,” said Tseng.
“I enjoy it a lot. I enjoy this course, it’s not easy to walk. The first couple of days, I was still trying to adjust to the green speed a little bit. Today I putt really well and I’m happy that I’m in contention now.
“I’m very nervous, even the last three holes I was so nervous. I haven’t been in this position since last year but I’m just happy. This is what I’ve been working on, I’m trying to not think about it too much.

“I want to enjoy tonight and enjoy tomorrow as much as I can. That’s what I missed about playing golf was to be in contention and play competition golf and be in the last two groups, that pressure you will never get that when you practice and I’m looking forward to it.”
France’s Celine Herbin-Marshall is in outright third place after she fired the low round of the day with a 65 (-7), equalling the course record set by Seojin Park in 2025 and Patricie Mackova in round one.
The two-time LET winner made a birdie on her opening hole and made another on her fifth hole before rolling in a monster eagle putt on the eighth.
On her back nine, Herbin-Marshall finished with a flourish with birdies on her 14th, 16th and 17th holes to propel herself up the leaderboard.
“It was quite something. It was really consistent. I enjoy the greens a lot here, so I’m holing some nice putts,” said Herbin-Marshall. “My round highlight was holing a long putt for eagle on eight. That was quite a bonus. I kept being patient, rolling good putts and sometimes they went in and sometimes they didn’t. I kept believing in my game.
“I have been playing very well lately, I was just not having my way or some things were happening or maybe the putts were not falling. I feel very comfortable since I arrived from Hawaii on Tuesday on those greens, much less grain than the last week. That was a little bit of a relief. I read the greens quite well and it’s nice to be playing well.”
