[So-mi Lee and Se-young Kim](https://www.sportstotosite.xyz) tied for 8th place in the third round of the LPGA Tour's 'Mizuho Americas Open' (total prize money of $3 million, approximately 4.1 billion won).

Somi Lee hit 1 under par 71 with 5 birdies and 4 bogeys in the third round of the tournament held at Liberty National Golf Club (par 71) in Jersey City, New Jersey, USA on the 19th (Korean time).

Lee So-mi, who tied for 8th place with a total of 8 under par 208 strokes, faced a tough competition for the championship on the last day. She opened the gap with her sole leader Nelly Korda (USA), who finished with 13 under par at 203 strokes, to five strokes[.](https://start.me/w/ara88j)

Somi Lee, who won five times on the Korea Ladies Professional Golf (KLPGA) Tour, jumped into the LPGA Tour this year. She earned the right to participate by tying for second place in the LPGA Qualifying (Q) Series held in December last year.

However, she suffered a slump, missing the cut four times in the six competitions she participated in this year. Her tie for 13th at last month's JM Eagle LA Championships is her best result of the season[.](https://start.me/w/nOxBoM)

Kim Se-young recorded an eagle, six birdies, and two bogeys, scoring a 6-under par 66 strokes and raising her ranking from a tie for 35th to a tie for 8th. It is worth aiming to enter the 'top 10' for the third time this season, but a comeback win on the last day does not seem easy[.](https://start.me/w/D1OxYl)

Min-ji Kang finished the third round in a tie for 15th place (7 under par, 209 strokes), and In-ji Jeon and Ji-eun Shin finished the third round in a tie for 20th place (6 under par, 210 strokes).
