German golfer Esther Henseleit positioned herself for a run at the British Women's Open title after a stellar third-round performance. Henseleit carded a 4-under 67 at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, significantly improving her standing.
She navigated the front nine with four birdies and added another on the 11th hole, making up for her sole bogey of the day on the 15th. This charge came as overnight leader Haeran Ryu experienced a downturn, slipping from the lead after a string of bogeys.
Kuwaki and Noh held a share of the lead at 6-under, while Furue's 65 moved her closer to the top at 2-under. One notable incident involved Lydia Ko's wayward shot landing inside a spectator's jacket.
