Saturday Leaderboard Scores and LPGA Highlights

Drama won’t be in short supply Sunday at CordeValle Golf Club in San Martin, California, for the 2016 U.S. Women’s Open.

Lydia Ko leads through 54 holes at seven under par. Her advantage is far from safe, though. Five golfers will head into the final round within three shots of the lead:

Ko had a hard time getting onto the green Saturday, reaching only 10 in regulation, but she was excellent with the putter in her hands. She needed just 25 putts over the course of the third round, none better than her birdie putt on No. 14.
