CHASKA, Minn. – Hannah Green keeps getting out of tough spots, and it's taken her to a place she has never been.

Green twice escaped trouble with unlikely par saves, including one shot she holed from off the green, and made four birdies for a 3-under 69 and took a three-shot lead into the weekend at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.

It's the first time she has held the 36-hole lead in her second year on the LPGA.

The 22-year-old has made one bogey over 36 holes at Hazeltine National, one of the strongest tests of the year.
