Miyu Yamashita is making a mockery of the field in Kuala Lumpur. The defending champion fired a ruthless five-under 67 on Saturday to surge to 18-under par overall at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club. Her three-round total of 198 leaves everyone else scrambling.
Yan Liu produced the round of the tournament - a stunning 63 featuring an eagle and nine birdies. Yet even that blistering display only got the Chinese player to within two shots of Yamashita. She sits tied for second alongside France's Pauline Roussin-Bouchard, who also carded a 67.
Yamashita has spoken of her love for the course and the enthusiastic local support. Nobody should be surprised. She won here last year and clearly treats this venue like her personal playground. The LPGA Tour's Asian swing wraps up next week at the Toto Japan Classic - but right now, all eyes are on whether anyone can deny Yamashita a second consecutive Maybank title.
