Wichanee Meechai had a solo lead after 36 holes of the US Women's Open but now faces a three-way tie going into the final round. Her final day outing will not be easy, as she is now tied at 5-under alongside Andrea Lee and two-time Major champion Minjee Lee.
On Saturday, June 1, Wichanee Meechai carded 1-under 69 with the help of three birdies and two bogeys. Andrea, who carded 3-under 67, and Minjee Lee, who shot 4-under, joined her for a two-stroke lead after 54 holes.
During the post-round interview, Meechai reflected on her performance in the third round of the US Women's Open. She said it was a great day as she made a lot of safe par putts.
"I didn't tee off pretty good today," she added. "Just I feel so tired, to be honest. But just have to be positive and then have fun on the course."

"I'm just staying in my zone and trying to keep going and then be patient," she continued.
This week has been Wichanee Meechai's best performance in major championships so far. She has never made a top-ten finish in her past 20 starts in all the majors. Now, she is a contender at Lancaster, which could be her first win on the LPGA Tour.
