Solid as a rock since the first round on Wednesday despite the sometimes violent wind making the playing conditions difficult, Céline Boutier, our young tricolor hope, remains in the top 10 of the Blue Bay LPGA after 54 holes.

6th at mid-term, Céline Boutier, who will celebrate her 25th birthday this Saturday, however, loses four places on the leaderboard but manages to grab the top 10 (10th) with her 73 (+1) card of the day.

In the total par (216), she is now nine points behind the Mexican Gaby Lopez, alone in charge thanks to her sublime 66 (-6) crowned with a hole in one on the par 3 of the 17.

With this total score, Gaby Lopez is suddenly ahead of the world No. 1, the Thai Ariya Jutanugarn, who was leader the day before.

The South Koreans Sung Hyun Park and Sei Young Kim, ranked third tied, are already five laps away.

Céline Herbin, the other French golfer engaged this week in the island of Hainan (in China), retreats again after a heavy 76 (+4). Here it is beyond the top 50 (51st), at +8 (224).
