Hur Mi-jung birdied the par-5 18th hole for a 6-under 67 and a one-stroke lead over Brooke Henderson Saturday in the Reignwood LPGA Classic. Hur was 5-under on the back nine to reach 20-under 199 at Reignwood Pine Valley in the Asian Swing opener. The 26-year-old South Korean player, a two-time LPGA Tour winner, had a bogey-free round after shooting a tournament-record 63 Friday for a share of the second-round lead with Henderson. The fourth-ranked Henderson closed with a par for a 68, also avoiding a bogey. Planning to play all six weeks in Asia, the 19-year-old Canadian has two victories this year, winning the KPMG Women's PGA Championship in June for her first major and successfully defending her Cambia Portland Classic title in July. China's Shanshan Feng, the bronze medalist in the Rio Olympics, was three strokes back along with South Koreans Lee Mi-rim and Kim In-kyung . Feng had a 69, Lee shot 66 to match the best score of the day, and Kim had a 68. Feng won the inaugural Reignwood LPGA in 2013 at 26 under for the second of her four tour titles. In 2012, she won the LPGA Championship to become China's first major champion. China's Simin Feng (67) and South Korea's Amy Yang were tied for sixth at 12-under. Second-ranked Ariya Jutanugarn had a 69 to reach 10-under. The Thai player has a tour-high five victories and would take the player of the year points lead from idle Lydia Ko with a ninth-place finish or better. Older sister Moriya Jutanugarn, winless on the tour, also was 10-under after a 69. Yani Tseng had her best round of the year, birdieing the final three holes for a 66 to get to 9 under. The Taiwanese player won the last of her 15 tour titles in 2012. Saso lead Philippines to World Junior Girls title Yuka Saso led the Philippines to the World Junior Girls team title and also topped the individual standings Friday at Mississaugua Golf and Country Club. The 15-year-old Saso teamed with Harmie Nicole Constantino and Sofia Angela Legaspi to give the Philippines a 2-over 578 total — with only the top two scores each day counting in the total — for a nine-stroke victory over defending champion South Korea. "I feel happy and honored to win this trophy and this tournament," Saso said. "Winning with this group is special because we have known each other since we were kids." Saso closed with a 2-under 70 to finish at 2-under 286, six strokes ahead of second-place Jennifer Chang of the United States. Chang shot a 70. Constantino had a 75, and Legaspi a non-counting 80. The United States was third at 15-over. Chuayprakong extends lead Thailand's Thitiphun Chuayprakong executed a nearly flawless performance during the third round of the Korean Open Saturday, extending his lead by two strokes with another Asian Tour victory on the horizon. Chuayprakong, who seized the lead after the second round with an 11-under 131, fired an impressive 66 for a three-day total of 16-under 197 at the Bears Best Cheongna Golf Club. The Thai collected birdies on holes two, four, six, nine and 11 to finish with a bogey-free 66. South Korea's Kim Tae-woo sat two shots behind the Thai after finishing the third round with a score of 199. Asian Tour rookie Scott Vincent of Zimbabwe also continued his sensational run with a 68 to settle at third place. India's Gaganjeet Bhullar was tied for fourth with An Byeong-hun, the highest ranked player in the field this week, and South Africa's Jbe Kruger.
