Danielle Kang, Charley Hull share KEB Hana Bank Championship lead

Golf, Ladies Pro Golf Association

INCHEON, South Korea -- Danielle Kang and Charley Hull shot 4-under 68s on Saturday to share the lead after three rounds of the KEB Hana Bank Championship.

Kang started with two early bogeys but carded her sixth birdie of the day on the par-5 18th to finish at 12-under 204 with Hull, who also birdied the final hole in a bogey-free round at the Sky 72 Ocean Course.

"I got off to a really slow start," Kang said. "My caddie talked me through a lot of shots and kept me together when I was getting annoyed. I'm a leaderboard watcher but he just kept telling me, `You're putting great,' and that kept me in the game."

Ariya Jutanugarn was one stroke off the lead after a 69. Local favorite In Gee Chun shot a 66 and was tied for fourth with Minjee Lee (67) and Lydia Ko (68) at 10-under 206.

"I have a lot of things to work on," Jutanugarn said. "I missed some shots and started to think about making birdies and catching the leader and that's not helping. I have to try not to think too far ahead."

No. 1-ranked Sung Hyun Park had an erratic round of 71 that included three bogeys and a double bogey and was tied for seventh with Seon Woo Bae, who shot 67.

Brooke Henderson offset a lone bogey with eight birdies for a 65 that left her tied for 10th with four others, including Lexi Thompson (68).
