Australian golf star Minjee Lee takes a three-shot lead during the third round of the US Women's Open, the fourth women's golf major of the year.
Lee fired a 4-under-par 67 on Saturday to surge to 13-under at Pine Needles Golf and Country Club, a course with a history of dominant champions.
But Lee bounced straight back with a birdie on the sixth followed by a burst of four successive birdies from the ninth to the 12th holes to seize command. "It's totally different. [At] the Evian I was kind of in a go mode, trying to make as many birdies as I could, trying to catch up," Lee said.
