Americans Corpuz, Yin tied for lead entering final round of Chevron Championship

Americans Allisen Corpuz and Angel Yin shared the Chevron Championship lead at 10-under 206 after the third round Saturday.

Corpuz and Yin each shot 5-under 67 at The Club at Carlton Woods in the major tournament that moved from the California desert to suburban Houston this year.

Smiths Falls, Ont., native Brooke Henderson shot 4-over on the day, falling eight shots back of the lead in a six-way tie for 23rd, which includes fellow Canadian Maddie Szeryk of London, Ont.

Corpuz started out strong, with birdies on four of the first five holes, including the first three. She had a chance to birdie the 18th in a bogey-free round, but her putt rolled just shy.

"Just tried to put myself in good position, fairways and greens," she said. "Just hit some really solid shots starting out and was able to convert the putts."

Yin had four birdies on the back nine, highlighted by one on the 18th that moved her into the tie for first.

"Even though I didn't hit it as good as I did the first day or the second day, I did manage to score well, and I just adapted and I stayed patient," she said. "My caddie kept telling me to stay patient, so I'm glad I did that."
