Thompson, Park Share Lead at North Texas Shootout

(Reuters) - American Lexi Thompson fired three-under 68 to tie South Korea's Park In-bee for the lead after the third round of the North Texas Shootout at TPC Las Colinas in Irving, Texas, on Saturday.

The 20-year-old Thompson, who has won four times on the LPGA Tour, birdied three of the first 10 holes before making her only bogey at 11. She added a final birdie on the 18th hole to claim her share of the lead at nine-under.

Thompson credits her form to a recent putting adjustment.

“Just a little bit at setup and then my path and my stroke,” Thompson told reporters. “So it was definitely a big change for me, but it was a change that needed to be made, and I’m just getting used to it right now.”
