Maja Stark is positioned to win the US Women's Open after a solid 2-under 70 in a challenging third round, giving her a total of 7-under 209. Speedier greens and tricky pin placements led to higher scores and numerous mistakes across the field. Julia Lopez Ramirez surprised with a 68, putting pressure on Stark, while others like Nelly Korda struggled. Stark emphasized the importance of playing freely instead of fearfully to avoid mistakes, highlighting the difficulty of gauging putt distances in challenging conditions.
"It's just so hard to get the distances right. It's really scary when you know if you putt this five feet by, then that's gone."
"I think I'm just going to try to play freely. No one has ever played well when they've been playing scared, and that's been my habit before."
