There was plenty of movement on “Moving Day” during the third round of the Olympic women’s golf tournament Friday.

Switzerland’s Morgane Metraux remained on top of the leaderboard but was joined by New Zealand’s Lydia Ko at 7-under par after shooting a 68. American Rose Zhang had the second-best round of the day with her 67 to move into a tie for third place.

Zhang’s only blemish was a double bogey on hole No. 15. Before that, she carded three birdies and an eagle following a terrific putt on 14.

Zhang followed that double bogey with a good finish, recording an eagle on the 18th after this approach shot.

Fellow American Nelly Korda sits tied for seventh after a 2-under day along with France’s Céline Boutier, who led after the first round.

Australia’s Hannah Green got shot-of-the-day honors after she holed out for eagle from 153 yards on No. 17. She would finish 6-under on the day and is currently tied for 11th at 3-under par.

Here are the tee times for Saturday’s final round of the women’s Olympic golf competition at Le Golf National.

Golf is back for the third straight Olympic Games. After being an event at the 1900 and 1904 Olympics, it did not appear again until Rio 2016.

Like the men, the women’s tournaments will feature 72-hole stroke play. There is no cut, so each of the 60 women participating are eligible to play all four rounds.

The women’s tournament will finish Saturday. Scottie Scheffler of the U.S. won gold in the men’s competition with Great Britain’s Tommy Fleetwood taking home silver and Hideki Matsuyama of Japan winning bronze.
