Lydia Ko has one-shot lead as she seeks to win third LPGA major win in a row

Top-ranked Lydia Ko bogeyed the 18th hole Saturday to cut her lead to one stroke heading into the final round of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Sammamish, Wash.

Seeking her third straight major title, Ko shot a one-under-par 70 to reach two under. She won the Evian Championship in September in France for her first major title and took the ANA Inspiration in April in California.

Brittany Lincicome and Gerina Piller were tied for second. They each shot 71, with Lincicome also bogeying the 18th.

The 19-year-old Ko used her deft short-game to save shots on the 16th and 17th holes, but couldn’t avoid dropping a shot at the last when her third shot went to the back of the green and she missed a 15-foot par putt.

Second round co-leaders Brooke Henderson and Mirim Lee each shot 73 to drop into the group at even par. Only three players were under par, but 13 were within three shots of the lead.

Berger has three-shot lead at St. Jude Classic

Daniel Berger shot a one-under 69 on a hot, sticky Saturday at the FedEx St. Jude Classic in Memphis, Tenn., giving him a three-stroke lead over Phil Mickelson, Steve Stricker and D.A. Points.

Berger, the 2014-15 rookie of the year who had led after a round on tour only once before this event back in 2014, now has led consecutive rounds as he looks for his first PGA Tour victory. Berger had four birdies, a bogey and a double bogey to reach 10-under 201.

Mickelson (68), Stricker (66) and Points (64) were 7 under.

Seung-yul Noh (67), Colt Knost (67) and Brooks Koepka (69) were 6 under.

Langer in control at Senior Players Championship

Bernhard Langer was all alone under par at windy Philadelphia Cricket Club in Flourtown, Pa. The 58-year-old German star also was in position to win the Constellation Senior Players Championship for the third straight year, shooting a one-under 69 to reach two-under 208 and take a three-stroke lead over Jay Don Blake with a round left.

After playing the first 11 holes in two over with two birdies and four bogeys, Langer birdied the par-four 12th to get back to even par for the tournament. He added birdies on the par-five 15th and par-three 16th and closed with two pars on the A.W. Tillinghast-designed Wissahickon Course.

Langer won in 2014 at Fox Chapel in Pittsburgh and last year at Belmont in Massachusetts. He won the Regions Tradition last month in Alabama for his sixth senior major and 27th tour victory.

Blake birdied the par-4 18th for a 71. Jeff Sluman (70), Woody Austin (71), Wes Short Jr. (72), Bart Bryant (72) and Brandt Jobe (74) were tied for third at two over.

Lombard has one-shot lead at Lyoness Open

South Africa’s Zander Lombard overcame a triple bogey to shoot a 4-under 68 and take the third-round lead in the Lyoness Open at Atzenbrugg, Austria.

Winless on the European Tour, Lombard had an 11-under 205 total at Diamond Country Club. China’s Wu Ashun was a stroke back after a 65.
