Canada's Brooke Henderson climbs up leaderboard, 4 shots back at Dana Open

Lucy Li played with a lead for the first time on the LPGA Tour and the 19-year-old was up to the task Saturday, recovering from a sluggish start for a 4-under 67 and a one-shot lead in the Dana Open.

Lexi Thompson ran off three straight birdies late in the round for a 65, while Caroline Masson of Germany also had a 65. They were one shot behind.

Six other players were three shots back, including Lydia Ko, a two-time tournament winner who had the low round of the day at 64.

Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont., had an impressive third round of 6-under 65 to move just four shots back of the leader.

"I was probably a little nervous. It wasn't anything crazy, but haven't felt nervous in a long time," Li said. "Actually making those bogeys might have helped a little, just getting that out of the way and knowing that I could just freewheel it out there a little."

Li was at 14-under 199, and the final group offers a pair of prodigies.

Thompson was 12 when she first qualified for the U.S. Women's Open at Pine Needles. Seven years later, Li broke her record when she qualified for the 2014 Women's Open at Pinehurst No. 2.

"It'll be great," Thompson said. "I played with her a little bit — not so much out here. But I think everybody knows how amazing of a player she is. Just speaks wonders to the amount of work that she's put into her game, just the amount of talent she has."

Li recalls playing a practice round with Thompson in the `14 Women's Open.

"She outdrove me by like 60 yards. She probably still outdrives me by 20 yards," Li said. "I haven't spent that much time on the LPGA, so I haven't really gotten to know her that well. She's a lot — quite a bit older than me."
