Quick Summary

Hye-Jin Choi performed exceptionally well on a rainy day at the LPGA South Korea tournament, shooting a 6-under 66 with seven birdies and an eagle to tie for second place after three rounds. Despite her strong performance, she trails leader Haeran Ryu by four strokes, who has a total score of 17-under 199. Choi’s impressive front nine included scoring 28 on the first nine holes but bogeyed the par-5 12th and double-bogeyed the 17th due to poor shots in hazards.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
