Leblanc found herself in the lead before committing her only bogey of the day at 16e hole. She redeemed herself with a seventh birdie at 18e hole.

Boutier joined him in the lead with a round of 67.
Germany’s Leonie Harm (67) is tied for third with Leblanc at 14 under.
South Korean Eun-Hee Ji (70) and American Lilia Vu (71) also find themselves within striking distance at 13 minus. American Cheyenne Knight (67) and Thailand’s Wichanee Meechai (70) follow at 12 under.
