LANCASTER, Pennsylvania — Amy Yang of South Korea fought off a late challenge by Stacy Lewis on Saturday to retain a three-shot lead heading into the final round of the U.S. Women's Open at Lancaster Country Club.
The 24-year-old Yang shot a one-under 69 for a 54-hole total of eight-under-par 202, while world number three Lewis's 69 left her at five under par for the championship.
Yang, who has twice before played in the final pairing at a U.S. Open, will have another golden opportunity on Sunday paired again with Lewis.
"I don't want to think too much ahead, but it would be a great thing to my golf career," Yang said about the possibility of claiming her maiden major.
