2026 Women's British Open – Noh Leads into Final

Entities: Shiho Kuwaki · Jeeno Thitikul · Haeran Ryu · Royal Lytham & St Annes · Yealimi Noh

Overview

South Korea’s Haeran Ryu entered the 2026 AIG Women’s Open at Royal Lytham & St Anne’s with a one‑stroke lead after rounds of 66 and 69, sitting at seven‑under and eyeing a third consecutive major. Japan’s Shiho Kuwaki was one shot back, while Thailand’s Jeeno Thitikul and USA’s Yealimi Noh were tied for third at five‑under.

In the third round, Noh rallied with a two‑under 69, posting four birdies on the back‑nine to move to seven‑under and claim a three‑shot lead heading into the final day. Ryu faltered, recording a stretch of five bogeys that dropped her three strokes behind Noh. Five players – Kuwaki, Ryu, Thitikul, USA’s Lucy Li and Germany’s Esther Henseleit – share second place at four‑under. England’s Lottie Woad and Charley Hull remain within striking distance, while Spanish amateur Paula Martín sits five shots off the lead. Noh cited the wind and tempo of the demanding links as key factors and expressed confidence ahead of Sunday’s final round.
