Cincinnati, Sep 11 (Golf News) Indian golfer Aditi Ashok suffered a double bogey as she finished her third round at 5-over 76 at the Kroger Queen City Championship here on Sunday.
Aditi, who has been playing well in patches, had an early birdie on second, but a double bogey on par-5 fourth saw her drop from a healthy T-15 to T-50.
She later had a bogey on 10th and a further one on 17th followed by a double bogey in 18th. In between she birdied the 16th.
Two-time LPGA Tour winner Ally Ewing leads the pack at 16-under after firing a 5-under 67 in round three, highlighted by six birdies, three of which came in her first four holes.
Her three-day total of 200 ties Ewing’s career-low on the LPGA Tour.
Ewing is also looking for her first win since last year’s 2021 Bank of Hope LPGA Match-Play.
Her challengers include chaser Maria Fassi, who sits one back at -15 after matching Ewing’s 5-under 67 on the Moving Day.
The 24-year-old made four birdies and one bogey to turn in 33, and after carding five straight pars from Nos. 10-14, she holed a flop shot on the par-5 15th for an eagle.
Sitting in solo third is Xiyu Lin after a slow-and-steady 2-under 70.
A quartet of players round out the top-five at 12-under, including last week’s runner-up Megan Khang and 12-time LPGA Tour winner Ariya Jutanugarn.
