American Lee leads in Korea as rivals falter (Reuters)

INCHEON, South Korea (Reuters) - American Alison Lee shot a four-under 68 to move three strokes clear of the field after the third round of the KEB Hana Bank Championship on Saturday as her main title challengers at the $2 million co-sanctioned event in South Korea faltered.

Lee started the day a shot behind overnight leader Brittany Lang with Cristie Kerr and South Korean number one Park Sung-hyun in hot pursuit two strokes further back.

However, all three of her rivals failed to break par on Saturday, with Lang and Kerr carding matching 72s and Park slumping to a one-over 73 after back-to-back double bogeys at the 14th and 15th left her seven shots off the pace.
