LPGA THAILAND

CHONBURI, THAILAND

Thai teenager Ariya Jutanugarn shot a 2-under 70 Saturday to lead by three strokes after the third round of the LPGA Thailand despite finishing with two bogeys. Last year’s top-ranked amateur, Ariya had seven birdies — including five straight from No. 10 — for an 11-under 205 total at the Siam Country Club Pattaya Old Course. The 17-year-old Thai needed a sponsor’s invitation to enter the tournament in her first year as a professional. Stacy Lewis (76), Se Ri Pak (71) and Beatriz Recari (72) followed, and Inbee Park (71) was another stroke behind. Lewis, the third-ranked American, finished with three bogeys to lose her three-stroke lead after the second round. Ariaya wants to stay composed in the final round.
