Anna Foster is currently the strongest Irish challenger after nine birdies gave the Dubliner a share of ninth on seven-under par. There was one double bogey on the par four fifth, but Foster responded with three birdies from her next five holes and finished strongly with gains on 15, 17 and 18.
Leona Maguire produced a 70 to get up to 29th on Saturday. The Cavan native made a strong start to her round with a birdie on the second and three more before the turn. Maguire wasn't able to sustain that momentum, however, and while she birdied 14 that was in between bogeys on the 12th and 15th.
For the other Irish in action, Emma Fleming is on level par and Canice Screene on five-over.
