Jutanugarn on track for another LPGA event

Thai golfer Ariya Jutanugarn has a one-shot lead going into the final round of the LPGA tournament in Michigan.

Thailand's Ariya Jutanugarn has nailed a 15-foot eagle putt on the last hole to claim a one-stroke lead after three rounds of the LPGA Tour's Volvik Championship in Michigan.

Trying to become the first to win three straight LPGA Tour events since Inbee Park in 2013, the 20-year-old Jutanugarn shot a one-over 73 to reach 10-under 206.

She won three weeks ago in Alabama to become the first Thai winner in tour history and followed with a victory last week in Virginia.

Americans Jessica Korda and Christina Kim were tied for second.

Korda had a 70, and Kim shot 72.

South Korea's Hyo Joo Kim and Norway's Suzann Pettersen were seven under, each shooting 70.

Minjee Lee is the best-placed Australian at five under in a tie for ninth after her round of 73.
