Lizette Salas goes four clear in LPGA Classic

FROM SKY SPORTS.COM

Lizette Salas moved four strokes clear of the field after firing a flawless seven-under 64 in the third round of the LPGA Tour's Meijer Classic on Saturday.

The 26-year-old American birdied three of her first four holes and added three straight birdies from the 14th at Blythefield Country Club in Grand Rapids, Michigan to finish 54-holes at 16-under 197, a tournament record.
Salas' playing partner was compatriot Lexi Thompson, who posted a three-under 68 and shares second place with another American, Kris Tamulis (67), at 12 under.
Brittany Lincicome of the US, South Korean Ryu So-Yeon and Caroline Masson of Germany all shot six-under 65s to move into a tie for fourth at 10-under 203.
They were joined there by Alison Lee (70), Gerina Piller (69) and Katie Burnett (66).
World No 1 Inbee Park is among a group of four players in a tie for 10th following a five-under 66 to end three rounds on 204.
Salas, whose lone LPGA Tour win came at the 2014 Kingsmill Championship, said: "I'm glad to be in this position and hope to be holding the trophy on Sunday.
"I came off a good finish (a tie for 14th) in the US Women's Open and I'm feeling confident right now. Everything is coming together.”
