Williamsburg (United States) (AFP) - Australian teenager Minjee Lee was closing in on her first US LPGA Tour win when darkness halted play in the weather-hit Kingsmill Championship.

The 18-year-old had used a weather delay to good advantage, regrouping after dropping a shot at the fourth hole to notch five birdies and an eagle that gave her a four-shot lead at 16-under par through 15 holes.

"I knew I was right there," Lee said on Sunday.
