Story summary

Hye-Jin Choi maintains a narrow lead heading into the final round of the Shanghai LPGA event after shooting a 3-under 69 on Saturday. She leads by one stroke over Amy Yang, who shot a 68. Choi started strong with four birdies in her first nine holes and holds a total score of 9-under 207 after three rounds. Initially leading by eight strokes after the first round, Choi's advantage has narrowed as conditions became more challenging at Sheshan Golf Club. Defending champion Jeeno Thitikul, who won earlier this year at the LOTTE Championship in Hawaii, is currently even par and trails four shots behind Choi. The tournament is part of the late-season Asian Swing on the LPGA Tour, which continues next week in South Korea before moving to Malaysia and Japan.
