Meadow still in Women's PGA hunt as Chun stumble offers field hope

In Gee Chun remains at the top of the Women's PGA Championship leaderboard but saw her lead cut in half on day three in Maryland.

The South Korean had scorched into a six-shot advantage at the halfway mark at Congressional Country Club thanks to a course-record 64 on Thursday and 69 on Friday.

However, Chun struggled to a three-over 75 today. She had been level par after three birdies and as many bogeys before dropping a shot on 15 and two more on the 16th.

Chun remains -8 overall, three shots ahead of American Lexi Thompson (70) and compatriots Hye-Jin Choi (70) and Sei Young Kim (71).

Antrim woman Stephanie Meadow moved up into a share of 10th after a level-par 72.

Meadow began badly with a bogey on the opening hole but bounced back with birdies on 6, 10 and 11 to move into the top 5.

However, a costly double-bogey on the par 4 15th saw her finish the day as she had started on -2.

Cavan's Leona Maguire had a day to forget, a quadruple bogey on 3 was the low point on the way to a five-over 77.

Though Maguire also managed four birdies there were five further bogeys and she slumped to joint 64th on +7 overall.
