Saturday’s pro golf results

OHL CLASSIC AT MAYAKOBA

PLAYA DEL CARMEN, MEXICO

Derek Fathauer played bogey-free Saturday on his way to another 6-under 66 that gave him a one-shot lead in the OHL Classic at Mayakoba and a chance to extend an unusual streak on the PGA Tour. First-time winners have captured all five of the PGA Tour events at the start of the wraparound season. Fathauer would love to make it six in a row. Fathauer was at 16-under 197 and led by one shot over Jason Bohn, who missed a 5-foot par putt on the final hole at El Camaleon Golf Club. Bohn took the lead on the par-5 13th hole with a 25-foot eagle putt right before the third round was halted for nearly 90 minutes because of storms in the area. Bohn had to scramble for pars late in his round and couldn’t save the last one. He shot a 65. Russell Knox, coming off his first win last week in Shanghai at the HSBC Champions, also made bogey on the last hole for a 65. He was at 13-under 200, along with Justin Leonard (67), Graeme McDowell (70) and PGA Tour rookie Harold Varner III, who made an 18-foot par putt on the last hole for a 68.

LORENA OCHOA INVITATIONAL

MEXICO CITY

Inbee Park made two late birdies and shot 5-under 67 to open a three-stroke lead in the LPGA Tour’s Lorena Ochoa Invitational. The second-ranked South Korean star hit a 7-iron to 3 feet to set up a birdie on the par-3 16th, and made a 6-foot birdie putt on the par-5 17th. She had a 10-under 206 total at Club de Golf Mexico. Park is making her first start since withdrawing in China two weeks ago because of a cyst on her left middle finger. She has four victories this season, winning two of the five majors. Sei Young Kim, also from South Korea, was second after a 70. She won the event two weeks ago in China for her third victory of the season and has wrapped up the tour’s rookie of the year award. South Korea’s So Yeon Ryu and Spain’s Carlota Ciganda were tied for third at 6 under.

Daniel beat Liselotte Neumann 67-75, Ammaccapane edged Jenny Lidback 71-74, Redman topped Lorie Kane 68-71, and Johnson beat Jan Stephenson 73-75.
