Australians Hannah Green and Minjee Lee took the lead at 11-under par after three rounds of the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore. They hold a one-stroke advantage over Angel Yin and Haeran Ryu heading into the final round. The tournament features a 72-player field with no cut.
The HSBC Women’s World Championship, the second stop on the LPGA Tour’s early-year Asian swing, reached its third round on February 28, 2026, at Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore. Hannah Green of Australia carded a 4-under 68, while compatriot Minjee Lee shot a 69, both posting three-round totals of 11-under 205 to share the lead by one stroke.
Green, the 2019 Women’s PGA Championship winner and 2024 victor in this event, emphasized the course's challenges. “Definitely, there are a lot of birdies to be made but it’s very easy to make bogey,” Green said. “So I think just limiting as many of those as possible. I’ve been hitting the ball into the greens, so if I can continue to do that, and even though I’m playing with Minjee, we are good friends, I don’t want to get too caught up in what her scores are.”
Lee, a three-time major champion with victories at the 2021 Evian Championship, 2022 U.S. Women’s Open, and 2023 Women’s PGA Championship, will join Green in the final group. American Angel Yin fired a cool 68 to tie for third at 10-under with South Korea’s Haeran Ryu, who scored 70.
Earlier, six players were tied for the lead at 9-under through the eighth hole. Yin seized the top spot briefly with a birdie on the 10th from off the green, overtaking Auston Kim, who had led after two rounds. Kim endured back-to-back bogeys on seven and eight, including a plugged ball in a hazard on eight that required a fifth shot, but salvaged bogey with a 20-foot putt. She finished with a 73, tying for sixth at 8-under.
Yin attributed her round to a mix of skill and fortune: “Good golf and good luck. Honestly there’s nothing much you can do to it. There’s a lot of instances today where it was like one hole, I made this unbelievable up-and-down. That’s skill and luck to me. So get lucky and get good.”
Top-ranked Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand shot 70 to reach 3-under, tying with defending champion Lydia Ko and Brooke Henderson, both with 71s, eight strokes back. The no-cut, 72-player event offers a $3 million purse, with $450,000 to the winner and 500 Race to the CME Globe points. The final round concludes the tournament before the LPGA moves to Hainan Island, China.
