On Saturday, 14 March 2026, the third round, South Korean golfer Jun Yesong started at hole 1 but bogeyed at hole 3 after a three-putt. She then made two birdies at holes 6 and 7 with putts from 3 and 2 feet. Starting the final nine holes, she made three consecutive birdies at holes 11, 12, and 13 with putts from 2, 2.5, and 4 feet, respectively, and finished with a birdie at hole 16 from a putt under 3 feet. Fellow South Korean Lee Yewon, the 2024 KLPGA Thailand champion, is second after this round with a 3-under-par 69 and a three-day total of 11 under par 205, one stroke behind. The leader said after the round, "I previously practiced with coach Kim Haerim in the U.S. to adjust my swing, which improved my distance. I applied that here. The green speeds here respond well to putting, but there is immediate trouble when the ball lands in the rough. Finishing with 5 under par is a satisfying score. I admit I'm excited about the final round, so I don't want to rush and will be more cautious. I hope my performance will be good."
Thai golfer Natkrita Wongtaweelap, the best-performing Thai in the event, started with four par saves, made a birdie at hole 5, and bogeyed at hole 9. In the back nine, she birdied hole 10 with a 2.5-foot putt and eagled hole 11, a par 5, by hitting her second shot onto the green and sinking a 1.5-foot putt. At hole 16, she bogeyed after missing a 6-foot par-saving putt but recovered with a birdie at hole 17, a par 3, from a 3.5-foot putt. She finished the round at 3 under par 69 with a three-day total of 9 under par 203, tied for third place with Lee Saenghyun, Moon Jungmin, and Kim Kahui, three strokes behind the leader.
After the round, Natkrita said, "It was another good day like all the previous ones. The wind conditions were not much of an obstacle. The eagle on hole 11 came from a second shot from 228 yards onto the green. I admit I had some putting problems, which caused bogeys on two holes. When under a lot of pressure or facing difficulties, I always think of the 'Eight Directions Universal Auspicious Mantra' and recite it in my mind. That is the only thing that helps me get back on track."
Lee Jaeyoon, Ji Hansol, Lim Jinyang, Jung Soyi, and Park Bokyom tied for eighth place with a total score of 8 under par 208. Choi Gabin, Lee Daeyeon, Choi Yebon, and amateur Oh Sumin tied for 13th place at 7 under par 209. Meanwhile, Seo Kyolim, Park Hyunhyung, Park Seo Jin, Yoon Soa, Jang Unsoo, and Hong Hungmin tied for 17th place with 6 under par 210.
