Minjee Lee in LPGA title hunt in LA

Australia's Minjee Lee is four shots off the pace going into the final round of the LPGA Tour event in Los Angeles.

Minjee Lee has rattled home to put herself into contention at the LPGA Tour's Los Angeles tournament.

Seeking her first win of the season, the 21-year-old Australian shot a five-under-par 66 on Saturday to be four shots behind joints leaders Jin Young Ko (66) and Moriya Jutanurgan (70) going into the final round at Wilshire Country Club.

Although she was bogey-free, nothing much was happening for world No.15 Lee until she picked up four shots in her last four holes with a eagle and two birdies.

South Korean Ko and Thailand's Jutanugarn lead by two shots from world No.3 Inbee Park (69).

Ko won the Women's Australian Open in February, her first victory as an official LPGA Tour member.

Jutanugarn is trying to match younger sister Ariya as a tour champion.
