Lottie Woad entered the Sunday finale of the Meijer LPGA Classic just one stroke behind leader Jing Yan. The Englishwoman carded a four‑under 68 on a wind‑blasted Blythefield, finishing at 13‑under and matching Yan’s total. Both players now share the clubhouse lead and will tee off together early on Saturday.

Yan capitalised on the final par‑five, sinking a birdie to post her fourth of the day and a flawless, bogey‑free 66. The performance kept her a shot ahead, preserving a chance at her first LPGA Tour victory. Her steady play contrasts with Woad’s recent Kroger Queen City win, underscoring two strong English contenders in quick succession.

Australia’s Cassie Porter sits two strokes back after a solid 69, while Wei‑Ling Hsu, In‑Gee Chun and Yan Liu trail Yan by four, all on 10‑under. The tight leaderboard intensifies pressure on the final day, with every putt potentially swinging the outcome as the field chases the coveted title.

Fresh from her Kroger Queen City Championship triumph, Woad aims to tighten her game, limiting bogeys while seeking birdies. She emphasised a strong start and aggressive putting as the key to overtaking Yan. As the final round unfolds, Lottie Woad remains the player most likely to seize the lead and claim victory.
