On May 19, Beijing time, Nelly Koda, the "world number one", did not spend too long, but put another event in her heart.

On Saturday, Nellie Koda hit 65 strokes at the Free Court, 7 strokes lower than the par, 2 strokes ahead of Hannah Green when entering the last round of Mizuho Bank Open, and will strive to win the championship for the sixth time in the seven races.

Last week, I saw Zhang Siyang break her record of five straight wins in the Founder's Cup. Nellie Koda played better and better in Jersey City. She turned in 203 shots (70-68-65) in three rounds, 13 below par.

Hannah Green is another player who has won many titles this season. The Australians grasped the calm and dry competition conditions in the morning and moved quickly on the moving day, hitting a record 63 strokes. Mizuho Bank Open was only held in the second year, and she was one stroke lower than the best round last year.

The two players will start from the last group together on Sunday. Both players didn't swallow bogey on Saturday, and they caught 16 birds in total. Nelly Koda set out in the afternoon, when the weather was colder and the wind was stronger, and it rained on the last nine holes. She caught birds on hole 15 and took the lead. She missed the eagle on the hole where she could hit the green in one shot on hole 16, and then missed two bird pushes on the last two holes.

She could not help shaking her head as she left the court, which showed how dangerous she was. Plus, she doesn't have to worry about Zhang Siyang now. The defending champion has withdrawn from the competition because of illness.

Ayaka Furue made 67 shots and Gabriela Ruffels made 68 shots, with 206 shots, 10 shots lower than the par, ranking third.

Lin Xiyu got off to a good start. She caught three birds and one eagle in the first six holes and finally scored 67 shots, putting herself in the top ten again. Her three round result was 208 strokes (69-72-67), 8 strokes below par, and ranked eighth.

Liu Yu got off to a good start. He caught three birds in the first five holes, but there were three bogeys in the seventh hole, two bogeys in the eighth hole, and all the red characters were cleared. She finally bounced back, hitting 72 strokes for the second day in a row, 214 strokes (70-72-72), 2 strokes lower than the par, and ranking 43.
