Choi, Kang tied for lead at LPGA

Chella Choi shot a 4-under 67 for a share of the lead with Danielle Kang heading into the final round of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Olympia Fields, Ill.

Kang birdied the par-5 18th to join Choi at 10 under, setting up a final pairing of two players looking for their first major title.

Kang had a 68, also birdieing the 18th. Jiyai Shin rocketed up the leaderboard with a 64, the best round of the day and good enough for third all by herself at 8 under. Defending champion Brooke Henderson was another stroke back after a 69.

Kang and Sei Young Kim were tied for the lead after the second round. While Kim stumbled to a 72, Kang had five birdies and two bogeys.

Kang won the U.S. Women’s Amateur in 2010 and 2011, but she has never won an LPGA Tour tournament. In other news: • David Lingmerth lost his way off the tee but scrambled well enough to stay in the lead at the Quicken Loans National in Potomac, Md.

The 29-year-old Swede shot a 3-over 73 after starting the tournament with two consecutive 65s. That was enough to maintain a one-shot lead at tough TPC Potomac.

Lingmerth’s three-day total of 7-under 203 was one better than Daniel Summerhays, who played solidly from tee to green but couldn’t get many putts to fall. He shot 70.

• Kirk Triplett shot a 4-under 66 to open a one-stroke lead after three rounds of the U.S. Senior Open in Peabody, Mass.

Triplett improved to 15 under heading into the final round at the Donald Ross-designed Salem Country Club. He watched as Kenny Perry three-putted the 18th hole to fall one stroke back.
