This year, Kim Hyo-joo (Lotte, see photo) is taking a step closer to the championship. Kim took the lead with 15-under par (198 strokes) after seven birdies without a bogey in the third round of the Marathon Classic on Sunday. The Korean golfer led Lydia Ko of New Zealand) and Alison Lee of the U.S. by three strokes, hoping for a second win after her first win in the season opener in the Bahamas in January.
After having difficulty in communications with an American caddie, Kim is showing an upward trend with her new Korean American caddie, Kim Kang-il.
