Lauren Coughlin leads the Aramco Championship by two shots going into the final round after a tough third round at Shadow Creek, where she shot 73 and is one of only five players under par at 7 under overall. The difficult course conditions made scoring challenging, with Coughlin focusing on limiting mistakes. Nelly Korda birdied her final two holes to shoot 69 and move into second at 5 under, setting up a final-round showdown. Nanna Koerstz Madsen and Miyu Yamashita are at 3 under, while Leona Maguire is 1 under. Hyo Joo Kim fell out of contention after a 79. Coughlin, who nearly won here last year, will try to convert her lead on a course where avoiding mistakes is key.
