Monaghan had a steady round, going to 11-under with three birdies and one bogey on the front nine.
She made a 15-foot putt to birdie the par-4 15th to go 12-under, but drove into the trees on the left side of the 16th fairway and took a bogey-5. She missed a 25-foot birdie putt on the par-4 17th, but hit a 7-foot birdie putt on the par-3 18th.
