Thailand's Trichat Cheenglab holds a three-shot lead heading into the final round of the Open de Espana in Andalucia with Ireland’s Anna Foster falling outside the top 30 after a third-round 74.
After opening with five pars, Foster’s final 13 holes included five bogeys and three birdies as she fell to two-under par, 13 shots off Cheenglab.
Lauren Walsh sits on one-under par after also shooting a 74 – a triple bogey on the seventh ruining her card - while Sara Byrne, who started on the 10th, was also over par for the day as her 73 saw her fall to one-over par overall.
Cheenglab was only able to go level par around the course, but she still holds that three-shot lead at Real Guadalhorce Club de Golf in Malaga.
Cheenglab, who won the 2023 LET Order of Merit and Rookie of the Year titles, is aiming to win her second LET title tomorrow.
France’s Perrine Delacour sits in solo second place on 12-under par after a round of 66 to put herself into contention ahead of the final day.
"Today I was good. Mentally, I was pretty good, I hit the ball pretty good and I made a lot of putts which helps," said Delacour.
France’s Nastasia Nadaud is in third place two shots further back on 10-under.
The 21-year-old had six birdies and three bogeys on her scorecard to leave her five shots behind leader Cheenglab at the 54-hole mark.
"I was really looking forward to this week. I love Spain, obviously. I’m trying to soak it all in and enjoy the moment."
At the end of Sunday, the winner of the LET season finale will be decided alongside the winner of the LET Order of Merit.
