Dottie Ardina carded a 1-under-par 70 for a share of 37th heading into the final round while Bianca Pagdanganan and Fil-Japanese Yuka Saso missed the cut in the Shoprite LPGA Classic in Galloway, New Jersey on Friday, June 7 (Saturday Manila time).

Ardina, who is campaigning for ranking points to keep her position inside the Top 60 going to the 2024 Paris Olympics, shot three birdies against two bogeys at the back nine to post a two-round total of 138, six strokes behind solo leader Jenny Shin.

The Filipina had an opening-round 68.

Pagdanganan, who is also seeking a return trip to the Olympics, missed the cut by four shots despite shooting a 69 for 143 at joint 95th.

She had a rollercoaster round of five birdies against three bogeys with hopes of bouncing back from a disappointing first-round 74.

Saso, for her part, couldn’t muster her form that won her the 2024 US Women’s Open less than a week ago as she limped home with a 73 for 142 for joint 87th.

Coming off an opening-round 69, the Bulacan-born Saso fumbled with a double bogey on the 11th while also stumbling with two bogeys against the same number of birdies.

Shin, meanwhile, shot a 69 for a one-shot lead heading into the final round as she seeks her first victory since 2016.

With the wind kicking up and making conditions tougher at the Bay Course at Seaview Resort, the 31-year-old from South Korea had six birdies and four bogeys to post a two-day total of 10-under 132.

It was much different from Friday's opening round, when Shin had nine birdies and a bogey in calmer conditions to match a career low with a 63.
