Sei Young Kim's eagle on the 17th hole has propelled her lead to four strokes as she enters the final round of the BMW Ladies Championship, shooting a 3-under 69 on Saturday. The blustery, cloudy conditions at Pine Beach Golf Links on the Korean peninsula didn't deter Kim, who finished with a three-round total of 19-under 197, despite a bogey on the 18th. Yealimi Noh and Nasa Hataoka are tied for second, while American Brooke Matthews, who trailed Kim by a stroke after the second round, triple-bogeyed the par-3 15th and fell six strokes behind, settling for a tie for fourth place after a 74. Defending champion Hannah Green, at 11-under, is eight strokes behind Kim, tied with fellow Australian Minjee Lee, who shot 71 on Saturday. Brooke Henderson, also shooting 71, is nine strokes off the lead. This is the first of two consecutive LPGA tournaments in South Korea, with the International Crown team event scheduled for next week, followed by two more LPGA events in the five-event Asian swing, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Japan.
