CHASKA, Minn. – Hannah Green has a one-shot lead going into the final round of the KPMG Women's PGA Championship and fresh evidence that going after her first LPGA Tour victory at a major won't be easy.
Green three-putted for bogey on the 18th hole at Hazeltine National for a 2-under 70, leaving her one shot clear of two-time major champion Ariya Jutanugarn, who had a 68.
Green, who was at 9-under 207 for her first 54-hole lead in an LPGA Tour event, had reason to feel the lead could have been larger.
She and Jutanugarn, who separated from the field, matched scores on seven straight holes until the par-4 16th, where the tees were moved up to entice players to try to drive the green.
