WONJU, South Korea (AP) — Atthaya Thitikul hit five birdies on the back nine and will take a one-stroke lead into the final day of the BMW Ladies Championship. The 19-year-old Thai player’s 5-under 67 in the third round left her at 15-under 201 overall with Lydia Ko and Andrea Lee both trailing by a shot. Thitikul surged into the lead after her terrific run of birdies that included three in a row from No. 13. The 17-time LPGA Tour winner Ko played a bogey-free 66 to remain in contention. Overnight leader Lee couldn’t match her two identical rounds of 66 as she made three bogeys and five birdies for a 70 on Saturday.
