Andrea Lee is +3 today and tied for 27th.
Lauren Kim at +2 and Albane at even today are a little earlier in their rounds but in good shape.
It's getting better for Valenzuela (-1 through 10 today for -8 overall, and T4) and much worse for Lee (now +5 through 15, for +3 overall and T36). From looking perfectly safe through 6 rounds to rapidly moving toward the bubble in the seventh.... Right now, that T45 line for the LPGA card is at +5, so Lee needs to stop the bleeding soon. Today, Lee birdied No. 5 to get to -3 for the tournament, but then it was a triple bogey on the ninth and then bogeys on each of 11, 12, and 13. Ouch.
In other words, Valenzuela is currently 14 strokes ahead of the wrong side of that T45 line, Kim is 11 strokes ahead of the wrong side of the line (she's back to even par on the day), while Lee can only drop two strokes and still stay on the right side of the line. Danielson is 5 strokes back of the right side of the line.
