ANDREA LEE FINDS THE WATER ON THE 4TH
Disaster for Andrea just moments after trimming the lead to one as she hits her drive on the 4th hole into the water.
Minjee found the same penalty area twice already this week, but stays well away from it, trickling into the rough just left of the fairway.
MINJEE LEE BOGEYS THE THIRD, LEAD DOWN TO ONE
With a near impossible up-and-down from the back bunker, Minjee splashes her sand shot through the green but chips up to a couple of feet.
Andrea Lee had a 25ft putt to tie the lead, but cannot convert.

THE LEADER FINDS THE SAND ON 3
An uncharacteristic mistake from Minjee Lee as she find the back right bunker on the third after driving into the first cut. The entire green slopes away from her so getting up and down will be a tough task.
Andrea Lee, however, safely finds the front edge of the green.

This is good, right? The stats tell the story, and the two-time major winner is strutting her stuff already this afternoon.

Minjee hits a tame birdie putt to ‘gimmie’ range for a stress-free par. Andrea makes a fantastic sand save from that deep front bunker – a confidence builder for her after a shaky opening bogey.
MINJEE FINDS THE GREEN, ANDREA FINDS THE BUNKER
Both players had only 100 yards for their approach shots into the second hole, but Andrea Lee could only find the deep greenside bunker short of the flag. Minjee fires a dart into around 10 feet from the hole as she looks to extend her early lead.
NIGHTMARE START FOR MEECHAI
Wichanee Meechai three putts the second green to fall back to 3-under-par. Two bogeys in her opening two holes is not the start she had in mind…
MINJEE LEE BIRDIES THE FIRST TO TAKE SOLO LEAD, ANDREA BOGEYS
Dead centre. Minjee Lee birdies the first hole to take the solo lead at the first.
Meanwhile, Andrea Lee fails to clean up from around 5ft and drops a shot. A two shot swing for the two time major champ over her playing partner, while Meechai has a testing par putt on the 2nd green.
