Jeon Inji (27) successfully entered the top 10 on the third day of the LPGA Tour Drive-On Championship ($1.5 million in total prize money).

In the third round of the tournament held at the Golden Ocala Golf Club (par 72, 6,526 yards) in Ocala, Florida, USA on the 7th (Korean time), Jeon Inji tied 4 birdies and 1 bogie and hit 3 under par 68.

Jeon In-jin, who recorded 212 strokes at a 4 under par in the middle total, raised the ranking from a tie of 24 to a tie of 8 the previous day.

Jeonin-in continued to rise in this competition, raising the likelihood of being the top 10 for three consecutive competitions.

Earlier, Jeon In-ji was the first of the season, finishing fourth in the Diamond Resort Tournament of Champions in January and a tie for eighth in the Gainbridge LPGA last week, sparking a resurgence.

Jeonin-in, who had a par save march on holes 1-7, caught a birdie in the 8th hole (par 4).

In the second half, he slowed down because he wrote down his look at the 12th hole (par 5), but after making up with a birdie on the 15th hole (par 3), he showed concentration with a continuous birdie on the 17th hole (par 4) and the 18th hole (par 5). Round finished.

Jeonin-in is 9 strokes against the sole leader Austin Ernst (USA).

Ernst cut three strokes on this day and sprinted to the lead for two days in a row with 13 under par 203 strokes in the middle, raising expectations for his third victory in the LPGA tour.

Jennifer Cupcho (USA), who was co-leader with Ernst until the second round, is chasing Ernst with the first hit and second place alone (12 under par, 204 shots).

Park Hee-young (34) is tied for 11th by catching only 4 birdies, reducing 4 strokes and recording a 3 under par 213 in the middle.

Jessica Corda and Nelly Corda (above the United States), who caused the LPGA sister sensation, are tied for 11th place (3 under par 213 strokes) side by side.

Jessica Corda, who won the Diamond Resort Tournament of Champions, cut three strokes that day, but gainbridge LPGA winner Nelly Corda lost four.

Lydia Go (New Zealand), who tied for second at the Gainbridge LPGA, is a tie for 11th.

Lee Jung-eun (25), who was sluggish with a 5 over par the day before, recorded 4 under par 68 strokes with 5 birdies and 1 bogie. Lee Jung-eun rebounded from 58th place to a tie of 18th, with 214 strokes in the middle of the two-under par.

Kim Se-young (28) is tied for 24th (1 under par 215 strokes), and Park Sung-hyun (28) is tied for 43rd (1 over par 217 strokes).
