Chinese teenagers were right in the mix as amateurs Liu Yan and Sui Xiang were two off the pace after rounds of 69, tied for equal fifth with 17-year-old compatriot Shi Yuting, Thailand鈥檚 Janya Morrakotpan, Hannah Burke of England, Dane Daisy Nielse and Scotland鈥檚 Pamela Pretswell at 3-under. Defending champion Cheng Ssu-chia of Chinese Taipei was at even-par 72.
