MIAMI: England´s Charley Hull fired a two-under par 68 and clung to a one-stroke lead over top-ranked Nelly Korda and China´s Zhang Weiwei after Saturday´s third round of the LPGA Annika tournament.

Hull found water at the 18th hole and made bogey but kept the lead alone when Korda three-putted for bogey in near-darkness at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida.

“Played pretty solid. I felt like I played well all day,” Hull said. “But finishing in the dark wasn´t that fun. Shame to finish on a bogey but it was a good up-and-down.”

That left Hull on 12-under 198 with US star Korda, a six-time winner this year, shooting 67 to stand second on 199 with Zhang, who fired an LPGA career-low 62 to leap into contention.
