Script:

IK Kim delivered a stunning performance in the Ladies' European Masters third round on Saturday.

The world number 24 from South Korea fired nine birdies in a flawless round to finish in first place on 14-under-par; equalling the women's professional course record at Buckinghamshire Golf Club in Denham.

18-year-old amateur Minjee Lee struck this excellent approach on the 13th. The Australian moved top of the world amateur rankings after winning the Oates Victorian Open in February. In south-east England, she went on to card a 67 at 10-under.

Sarah Kemp started the day three shots clear at the top of the leaderboard. But the Australian ended up five strokes off the pace in third.

Also tied in third is American Amelia Lewis. The 23-year-old dealt brilliantly with this shot from the bunker on the 12th.

The final round gets underway on Sunday.
