Rio Takeda carded a 3-under in the third round to take the lead at the Blue Bay LPGA 2025. She now sits at 9-under and holds a two-shot lead over Gigi Stoll and Auston Kim.
On Saturday, March 8, Takeda entered the third round of the Blue Bay LPGA 2025 one-stroke off the lead. She picked up three birdies on the front nine and avoided major errors until back-to-back bogeys on the 12th and 13th holes. However, she compensated with two birdies and finished the day with a solo lead.
Stoll moved up six spots to second, joining Kim, who climbed two spots with a third-round 70. Minjee Lee, Jeeno Thitikul, Mao Saigo, and Ayaka Furue are tied for fifth heading into the final round of the Blue Bay LPGA 2025.
