- staff and wire reports

Lexi Thompson shot a 64 on Saturday on a Blythefiel­d layout reduced to a par of 69 because of flooding, giving her a one-stroke lead in the Meijer LPGA Classic in Grand Rapids, Mich. The fifth hole was played as a 111-yard par three instead of a par five because of the f looding from overnight rain. 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.
