Miyu Yamashita started the day with a three-shot lead and fired two birdies and four bogeys to close with a 2-over 74 on Saturday. She retains a one-shot lead at 9-under ahead of the final day at the AIG Women’s Open.

This is the first time in her career Yamashita has held the 36- and 54-hole lead at any event.
