AFP, Bangkok :
First round leader American Lexi Thompson resumed her spot at the front of the pack Saturday after day three of the Honda LPGA in Thailand.
The 21-year-old finished the third round with a nearly perfect 64 at eight under par, giving her a four stroke lead with a 16 under par total of 200.
A victory on Sunday would be Thompson’s seventh career win on the LPGA Tour.
It would also make her the first American to win the four-day event, which is held at Siam Country Club in Chonburi and carries a $1.6 million purse.
“I missed a putt on the first hole, which got me down a little bit, but I tried to stay positive going into the next hole and fire at pins like I did the first day,” Thompson was quoted on the LPGA website as saying after the round.
