Jutanugarn, whose younger sister Ariya is a major champion, stayed composed throughout, mixing five birdies and two bogeys to snatch the lead from U.S. Open champion Park Sung-hyun. The South Korean, who started the day with a two-shot lead over Jutanugarn, had four bogeys to only two birdies as she slipped down to fourth. Uehara could have been level with Jutanugarn had she not missed out on a birdie when she missed a simple putt on the eighth green. "I don't remember that I had my best major finish here," said the 23-year-old Jutanugarn, 10th in Evian in 2014. Defending champion Chun In-gee was seven shots back after mixing three birdies with two bogeys in a one-under-par 70.
