PORTHCAWL - Miyu Yamashita of Japan maintained her lead through three rounds of the Women's British Open, despite stumbling to a two-over 74 on Aug 2 at Royal Porthcawl, Wales.

After holding a three-shot lead through the midway point of the tournament, Yamashita was at nine-under 207 through three rounds as her advantage was narrowed to a single shot heading into the final round on Aug 3, which ended after press time.

"I think one of the main things is not missing in the wrong spots," said Yamashita, whose best finish in a Major was a tie for second at the 2024 Women's PGA Championship.

"Because I'm able to do that, that means I don't put myself in awkward positions and helps me not make those bogeys which can cost you so much at these championships."
