Jing Yan maintains lead in the windswept Meijer LPGA Classic

BELMONT, Mich. (AP) — Jing Yan shot a 4-under 68 on Saturday to maintain a one-shot lead in the windswept Meijer LPGA Classic, the final event before the major KPMG Women’s PGA Championship next week at Hazeltine.

Yan birdied the par-5 18th to cap her second straight bogey-free round at Blythefield Country Club. Winless on the LPGA Tour, the 30-year-old American had a 14-under 202 total.

“I just tried to enjoy it,” Yan said. “I knew I was going to be a little bit nervous not having really been in this position before, but I have been kind of in the later tee times and there have been times where I haven’t handled it very well. So, just trying to figure out what really works for me.”

Lottie Woad of England was second. She also birdied the 18th in a 68.
