For Georgia Hall, it’s on the Ladies European Tour
Georgia Hall is in top form this week. In two rounds of 69 on the par 72 course, she went one better on Moving Day: she extended her lead with 68 strokes. The Englishwoman seems uncatchable for her competitors and is definitely the favorite for the final day.

Two Eagles on Moving Day for Chiara Noja
Chiara Noja is currently the best German. A good first round (1-under par) was followed by an expandable second round (2-over par). Noja didn’t let that deter him and returned on the third day with her strongest round of the week so far. Two eagles helped her score 3-under-par: on lane 4, a par 5, and lane 14, a par 4, things might hardly have gone better for the German. Added to this were two birdies but also 3 losses for a 3 under par result for the day. That means the shared seventh place in the running standings.
Things are going so well for the other Germans
The second best Germans are currently Olivia Cowan and Sophie Witt. Cowan found it difficult to get into the tournament with a round of 78. She then played twice under par with a 70 and a 71. With a total of 3-over-par, she shared 20th place with Sophie Witt, among others. For Witt, things have been the other way around: she started the tournament with her strongest round (3-under-par) and shared the lead. However, she then played two rounds of 75.
The tournament has been up and down for Leonie Harm so far. A strong second round (3-under-par) was framed by two weaker rounds, which resulted in a total score of 5-over-par and thus a shared 35th place. Karolin Lampert responded to a round of 81 on Day 1 with a round of 70 on Day 2. Unfortunately, she didn’t sustain that increase in performance on Day 3, dropping her overall score to 11-over-par.
Before the final day begins tomorrow, all the highlights of the Moving Day are summarized here.
