BEIJING: Australia's Minjee Lee and the US's Jessica Korda topped the leader board on the third day of the $2,100,000 Blue Bay LPGA tournament Saturday.
The American demolished Lee's commanding six point lead at the end of play on the Chinese island of Hainan Friday, with both players finishing the day at 11 under on the par 72 course.
Thailand's Ariya Jutanugarn stalked the top spot, finishing just two strokes behind on a day where she notched eight birdies.
After a commanding performance Friday, Lee ended the day one over par, shooting a 73 after getting off to a bad start with an early bogey, followed by two more.
"It wasn't that windy today, so I guess you could be a bit more aggressive at the pins. I mean, I wasn't striking it that well," she said.
A confident Korda, on the other hand, shot six birdies, making up for a nightmare start on the previous day, where she dropped four shots in her first seven holes.
