With 25 full cards contested for the 2018 Ladies European Tour season, there were exactly 25 players at 4 under par or better after the 72 holes on Tuesday afternoon.

American Casey Danielson clocked a 72-lap fourth round on the Amelkis course and continued to lead qualifying for the third straight day.

Then she said: “I don't feel too good on this last lap. I think I hit 16 or 17 greens in regulation but had a lot of waste with my putts. On the first nine hole it was really stable and I was all the way. Then I made two birdies in a row and felt good, but I missed a few putts. "

Regarding her approach to the final round, she added: “I've been nervous all week, for the two weeks actually. I know I'm hitting the ball really well and I'm just waiting for my putts to drop. I will try to have fun. It's really nice to travel and to be so far from home. I'm just going to enjoy it and have fun with my mother, who is my shopping cart. "

At 12 under par, the 22-year-old Wisconsin woman is two strokes ahead of Frenchman Manon Molle, who played at home, at the Palm Golf Ourika, who settled in Marrakech there three months to live with his family, including his brother-in-law, who is the director of golf.

She said: “I think my local knowledge helps because I know a few tips on this course. I know where to go and where I shouldn't go and I know the greens very well, so it helps to practice here every day for sure. I also have a local caddy, Youssef, whom I have known since July. "

“Today my nine to go was really rough, I did it to one over the par, but I birdied on the 11 and 12 and an eagle on the 15, which got me a lot. help. I fought because I was a little stressed and nervous, but my back nine was really good. I eagle while playing on the left side of the fairway, on the par 3 of 14 with a 190 yard stroke that ended its run within three yards of the flag. Tomorrow I will try not to stress too much on the first tee and play my golf. "

Finland's Elina Numenpaa is third in solo eight under par and will play in the last group on Wednesday with Danielson and Molle, starting at 10:29 am local time.
