Jing Yan Holds One-Shot Lead at Meijer LPGA Classic

Her 54-hole advantage sets up a pressure-filled final round that will serve as a final tune-up before next week’s KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Hazeltine.

Overview

  • Yan, which shot a 4-under 68 on Saturday, has a 14-under 202 total after three rounds and completed her second straight bogey-free round.
  • Lottie Woad is one shot behind at 13-under and Cassie Porter is two shots back at 12-under entering Sunday’s final round.
  • In Gee Chun fired a bogey-free 65 on Saturday to jump 32 spots into contention at 10-under, a group that also includes Wei-Ling Hsu and Yan Liu.
  • Wind-swept conditions at Blythefield Country Club have produced volatile scoring and make a low Sunday likely to vault challengers up the leaderboard.
  • Yan is chasing her first LPGA Tour victory, a result that would be a major confidence boost ahead of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship next week and could alter her seeding and momentum going into the major.
