SHOT OF THE ROUND: No doubt about it, 16-year-old Ann Jang's spectacular three-wood second for an albatross on the par-5 first, even out-did an ace from Scotsman Calum Hill.
QUOTE OF THE ROUND: "I'm a chance." - Lucas Herbert insists men's co-leader Min Woo Lee isn't the only home hope of winning the Stonehaven Cup after a 66 left the Victorian just two shots off the pace.
STAT OF THE ROUND: Buhai in on track to become the first player since Taiwan's former world No.1 and five-time major champion Yani Tseng in 2011 to successfully defend the title.
TOURNAMENT SUMMARY: Home hope Min Woo Lee and Japan's Riyuka Hoshino share the men's lead at 13 under and will play in the final group on Sunday for the second week running. American Patrick Rodgers and England's Alex Fitzpatrick are one shot behind. Buhai has a stranglehold on the women's trophy, with former world No.1 Shin and pre-tournament favourite Lee the only two chasers within seven shots.
