Megan Khang tops the leaderboard of the 2023 Portland Classic

Megan Khang is currently playing at the 2023 Portland Classic and topped the leaderboard following the first three rounds with a score of under 18. Seeding for two back-to-back victories, Khang fired a round of 6-under 66 on Saturday to register a stroke lead over H.J. Jang and Chanette Wannasaen.

The 25-year-old American spoke about her performance at the event in her interview with the media saying (via the ESPN):

"Game feels pretty solid. I think last week definitely helped build some confidence, knowing I can win out here. It's not just if it was going to happen or when, but like it has happened, so it's definitely a great feeling to have under the belt."
"Just going to try it take what I learned last week into this week, going with I think a one-shot lead," Khang added. "So it's definitely a lot closer and there is a ton of people. I know for a fact you can shoot low, and so it's going to be anyone's game out there I feel like."

Khang played three rounds of 66-66-66 at the Portland Classic to top the leaderboard with a score of 18-under par 198.

Carlota Ciganda settled in fourth place followed by Xiyu Lin, Ruoning Yin, Gina Kim and Atthaya Thitikul securing fifth place with a score of under 14.

The Portland Classic will have its final round on Sunday, September 3.
