LANCASTER, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - Amy Yang of South Korea fought off a late challenge by Stacy Lewis to retain a three-shot lead heading into Sunday's 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.

Chun In-gee, a 20-year-old South Korean, surged to third place with a two-under 68 for a four-under-par 206, one stroke better than Japanese Tour veteran Shiho Oyama, who shot a 71 after sliding back with a double-bogey at the par-four fifth.
