Grand Rapids (United States) (AFP) - Lizette Salas moved four strokes ahead of the field by firing a bogey-free seven-under 64 in the third round of the USLPGA Tour's Meijer Classic.

The 26-year-old American birdied three of her first four holes and added three straight birdies beginning at No. 14 to finish 54-holes at 16-under 197.

She set the event's 54-hole scoring record, breaking the old mark of 200 established by Park In-Bee in the first year of the tournament.
