Round 3: Hyo Joo Kim Scores WinHyo Joo Kim started the day with a three shot lead. She did not have a super smooth round on day three, however, and stuck close to par most of the day. This gave some of her opponents a chance to make a move, and several did. Shanshan Feng started the day 8 back, but moved to within 2 at one point. But she faded on the back nine, finishing at 6 under. Meanwhile, Han Sul Ji, who started the day second, had a bad day, falling down the leaderboard. This left Ha Na Jang as the last player who could challenge Kim. Playing in the final group with the leader, last week's winner rallied early, but also fell back by the end, winding up at 3 under total after a 75. And so, despite not having her best stuff, Kim had little trouble collecting her third straight win in China. She shot an even par 72 for a four shot win. Hyo Joo Kim has already won twice on the KLPGA tour in 2015 despite only playing four events. Not a bad win percentage! Congrats to her! Scores: 1. Hyo Joo Kim 72 -10 2. Shanshan Feng (China) 68 -6 3. Su Yeon Jang 71 -5 4. Ha Na Jang 75, Bo Ah Kim 68 -3 Notables: 6. Han Sul Ji (R) 77 -2 10. Jae Eun Jung 71 Even 18. Hye Youn Kim 74, Sung Hyun Park 75 +2 26.

Se Yeong Park's super pill wore off...she finished 75-76. I wonder if HJ Kim, S.S. Feng, Q Baek, and Ha Na Jang jumped onto a charter flight to Philly immediately after the tournament? On the 18th hole, by the way she acted afterward, it looked like Kim hurt her back on this fairway bunker shot...probably a trivial twinge. Hye Youn Kim

Congrat... to Hyo Joo for her win.
Even though I was hoping Ha Na would get another win. She has been kind of up in down on the LPGA Tour lately. I hope these last two tournaments will give her a boast.

Some more pix - this was her 9th career KLPGA win. Hyo Joo Kim Celebrate! Trophy - she's had some practice with this tire shaped trophy last year. Still a challenge to hold it, though!
