Thailand's Atthaya Thitikul held a narrow advantage over the history-chasing Nelly Korda when round three of the LPGA Chevron Championship was halted because of storms in Texas.World number one Korda has a four-foot par putt at the 12th when play at the year's first major resumes on Sunday.Success would see her join Nancy Lopez and Annika Sorenstam as the only players to achieve the feat.
Korda shares second place with Canada's Brooke Henderson who had seven birdies and an eagle in her first 14 holes before dropping a shot at the 16th.Jodi Ewart Shadoff leads the British contingent on five under, while English amateur Lottie Woad, who won the Augusta National Women's Amateur earlier this month, is a shot further back alongside Scotland's Gemma Dryburgh.
Atthaya is playing her first tournament of the year after recovering from a thumb injury but the 21-year-old says she is not fazed by the challenge of an extended day on Sunday. "I think it's not that big deal," she said. "I think last year in a Malaysia I played more than this in one day with the play-off, 27 holes, which is fine. Still young now - still good."Will they manage to track down the Soviet mole?'Man City's Treble dreams left in tatters by Real'Fight for Premier League survival - who will go down?
