A third-round 77 dropped Maui's Shayna Miyajima further back at yesterday's second LPGA Sectional Qualifier in Florida.

Miyajima's total of 227 leaves her tied for 55th going into today's final round. The top 30 and ties advance to the LPGA's Final Qualifier in December.

Gwladys Nocera, of France, leads the tournament at 210 after shooting a 4-under-par 68 — the low round of the day and one of just three rounds in the 60s.
