Sophia Schubert, Arpichaya Yubol share LPGA Tour lead in Portland
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Sophia Schubert and Arpichaya Yubol are tied for the lead in The Standard Portland Classic after shooting a 5-under 67 each on Saturday. Schubert birdied two of the final three holes to secure her position, while Yubol, the second-round leader, matched her score. Both players are winless on the LPGA Tour, with Schubert returning to the big tour after finishing 10th in the Epson Tour standings last year.
The American, ranked 295th globally, is 125th in the tour's points race, while the 24-year-old Thai player Yubol is ranked 112th and 28th in the season standings. Yubol noted the importance of staying ahead of the competition, while Schubert expressed her love for the Epson Tour and its positive impact on her confidence. Fellow Thai player Jeeno Thitikul finished third, two strokes behind the leaders.
