After reaching the turn in 39 and cancelled out a birdie at the par-five 10th with bogeys at the 11th and 13th, Kim followed back-to-back gains from the 15th by making a hole-in-one at the par-three 17th and picking up a shot at the last.

Kim's late charge up the leaderboard lifted her to tied-sixth alongside Cheyenne Woods and Olivia Cowan, as Germany's Karoline Lampert posted a second successive 68 to grab a one-shot advantage in Marbella.
Lampert mixed seven birdies with three bogeys to get to eight under, with defending champion Anne van Dam in the group of four players sharing second and the top eight players all separated by two strokes.
A round-of-the-day 66 from Nanna Koerstz Madsen saw the Dane move into tied-second with Van Dam, Marianne Skarpnord and Aditi Ashok, while Liz Young leads the British interest and is in the group on three under.
