American golfer Lexi Thompson has a one-shot lead going into the final round of the Meijer LPGA Classic in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Thompson shot a 64 on Saturday at the Blythefield layout which has been reduced to a par of 69 because of flooding.
The fifth hole was played as a par-3 instead of a par-5 because of overnight rain.
Coming off a playoff loss to Ariya Jutanugarn last week in Canada, Thompson had six birdies and a bogey to reach 15-under 196.
Brooke Henderson, the leader after each of the first two rounds, had a 67 to drop into a tie for second with Lee-Anne Pace (61), Sung Hyun Park (62) and Jenny Shin (63).
Hyo Joo Kim (65) was 12 under, and Lydia Ko (64), Michelle Wie (64), Moriya Jutanugarn (67) and Carlota Ciganda (68) followed at 11 under.
Ko dropped to No. 2 in the world Monday after an 85-week run at the top.
Meanwhile, Su Oh fired a 65 to be the best-placed Australian at nine under in a tie for 18th.
