Golf-Korean Jang stays in front at Marathon Classic

July 18 (Reuters) - South Korean Jang Ha-na maintained her lead by one shot after the third round of the weather-delayed Marathon Classic in Sylvania, Ohio on Saturday, though some of the game's biggest names were in hot pursuit.

LPGA Tour rookie Jang, still bothered by a back injury that has her finishing her golf swing with one arm, fired a two-under-par 69 to remain on track for a wire-to-wire victory at Highland Meadows Golf Club.

Seeking her first win on the U.S. circuit, the 23-year-old Jang mixed three birdies with a lone bogey to post an 11-under total of 202.
