WOMEN’S AUSTRALIAN OPEN

ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA

American Danielle Kang shot a 5-under 67 on Saturday to move into a share of the third-round lead with South Korea’s Jenny Shin and Haru Nomura of Japan.

Leading contenders Lydia Ko and Karrie Webb were one stroke off the lead at The Grange’s West course.

Kang, the 2010 and 2011 U.S. Amateur champion, is looking for her first win on the LPGA Tour. She was at 9-under 207 along with Shin and Nomura, who each had 70s.

Kang said she took advice from her brother and caddie Alex.

“He kept saying ‘be patient, be patient ... you can’t get too ahead of yourself’,” Kang said. “Having him on my bag really helps.”

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA

South Korea’s Lee Soo-min put on a sizzling display with his irons to top the leaderboard on Saturday, opening a three-shot lead over closest rival Marcus Fraser after the third round.

Lee fired home nine birdies, including four in a row on the back nine, for a 7-under 64 to move to a total of 15-under 198 at Royal Selangor Golf Club.

Fraser had a 66 to be outright second, a stroke ahead of fellow Australian and second-round leader Nathan Holman, who had four birdies and a double bogey en route to a 73.

Lee, ranked 221 in the world, last won a title at the Gunsan CC Open on the Korean Tour last year.
