Rianne storms into contention
Filipina golfer Rianne Malixi is in contention for the 31st Espirito Santo Trophy after a flawless bogey-free round of 5-under-par 67 in the third round.
The 18-year-old Duke University standout is tied with Japan's Aira Nagsawa at 7-under, one stroke behind leader China's Ying Xu.
Malixi is aiming to add the Espirito Santo individual trophy to her collection, which already includes the US Women's Amateur and US Girls' titles.
Her teammates Junia Gabasa and Grace Quintanilla also had strong rounds with scores of 70 and 71, respectively.
The Filipinas team is currently tied for 12th place at 2-under, 15 shots behind leaders South Korea.
The team hopes to improve on the eighth-place finish achieved by Dottie Ardina, Chihiro Ikeda, and Mia Piccio in 2010.
