Yealimi Noh takes a three-shot lead into the final round of the AIG Women's Open, while all three Irish players missed the cut.

Yealimi Noh holds a three-shot advantage heading into the final round of the AIG Women's Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes after carding a two-under 69 to move clear at the top of the leaderboard.

The American leads a group of challengers that includes Ryu Hae-ran, Shiho Kuwaki, Jeeno Thitikul, and Luci Li, while England's Lottie Woad and Charley Hull remain within striking distance.

There was no Irish involvement over the weekend, with Leona Maguire narrowly missing the cut after finishing at five-over-par.

Lauren Walsh ended the championship on eight-over, while Anna Foster, who earned her place through qualifying earlier in the week, finished nine-over to also miss out on the final two rounds.
