Minjee Lee took advantage of one of the forward tees by hitting 6-iron to tap-in range for eagle on the par-5 seventh hole that got her right into the mix, and she stayed there with a few other key shots along the way to match the low score of the championship.
LANCASTER, Pa. — Wichanee Meechai has a share of the lead and every reason to feel out of place at a U.S. Women's Open that is crowded at the top.
All the while, Meechai has been playing like she's been here all along. She delivered two big pars late Saturday afternoon for a 1-under 69, giving her a share of the lead with two-time major champion Minjee Lee and Stanford alum Andrea Lee . Meechai was among the only five players who remained under par, all with a reasonable chance of claiming the biggest prize in women's golf at Lancaster Country Club, a course that demands everything from everyone.
“It's tough if you have super high expectations and the course is hard and difficult,” she said. “I tried to just keep it pretty calm, and I just tried to be patient out there. I feel like my game has been trending. I feel like it has been coming together for the moment I am in right now.” She looked impervious to the nerves of the biggest event in women's golf, even after her group was given a warning for slow play.
