Golf: Aussie golfer MinJee Lee has made a strong start to her PGA Championship campaign.

MinJee makes strong start to PGA Champs | 00:59 Australia ’s Minjee Lee will start the final round of the Women’s PGA Championship with a four-shot lead as she chases a third career major title.

Lee is one of just two players under par for the tournament after 54 holes with world No.2 and overnight leader Jeeno Thitikul her nearest rival after dropping back with a round of 76. “It’s only getting harder and harder, I think, with the pressure of a major championship and the course demands so much from you.

Lee remained rock solid however, making back-to-back birdies at the par 5 14th and the par 4 15th to create some breathing room. Monday morning Australian time’s final round will offer Lee a shot at redemption for her disappointment at last year’s Women’s US Open. A year later, she won again at the Women’s US Open, by four shots after starting the final round with a three-shot buffer.
