The leader Ashleigh Buhai creams her opening tee shot down the middle. She’s looking to become the third South African winner of an Open here at Muirfield, following Gary Player in 1959 and Ernie Els in 2002. Just another 17 tee shots as calmly struck, and she’ll be on that board. Her partner today, the 2019 champ Hunako Shibuno, hits an almost identical first ball. Here we go, then!
Leona Maguire nearly drains a 30-footer for birdie on 9. Just the par. She turns in 33 strokes, a couple of inches here (at 9) and there (at 7) from a front nine of 31. Meanwhile a sensational bounceback birdie for Miyuu Yamashita at 2: a fairway-splitting drive, a wedge nearly holed from 100 yards, and a tap-in. She’s back to -5.
