Sweden’s Linn Grant shot a blistering 9-under-par 62 on Saturday to take a commanding six-shot lead after three rounds of the Dana Open in Sylvania, Ohio.
The 24-year-old sits at 18-under 195, with five players tied for second at 12 under. Two players are seven shots off the lead in a tie for seventh.
In pursuit of her first win on the LPGA Tour, Grant put some distance between herself and the pack with an eagle and eight birdies against one bogey. She birdied four consecutive holes — Nos. 2-5 — to kick off her round.
Second-round leader Annie Park shot an even-par 71 to sit in a tie for seventh with Australia’s Minjee Lee (67 on Saturday). Park had Friday’s low round, shooting a 63.
Stephanie Kyriacou of Australia fired a 65 to give herself a shot among a cadre of players at T2. She’s joined in the pack by Mexico’s Maria Fassi (67), Finland’s Matilda Castren (67), Denmark’s Emily Kristine Pedersen (67) and Allisen Corpuz (68).
Saturday’s third round was delayed by rain.
