- Yang will play in the final group on Sunday for the third time in the U.S. Women’s Open. She finished second in 2012 and fourth last year.
- Mo Martin and Gerina Piller had a laugh on Saturday when they were paired together for Round 3. “We realized our pairing today was Martin-Piller,” said Martin.

Martin and Piller both shot 72 and will play together again on Sunday, starting at 9:52 a.m.
