Chun holds one-stroke lead in Singapore

Australia's in-form Hannah Green has fired a six-under 66 to be five shots off the pace after the third-round at the HSBC Women's World Championship in Singapore.

Chasing a hat-trick of tournament wins, Green is tied for eighth at seven under, with compatriots Minjee Lee (70) and Su Oh (71) a stroke further back.

They're all chasing 27-year-old two-time major winner In Gee Chun, who'll take a one-shot lead over fellow South Koreans Jeongeun Lee6 and Jin Young Ko into Sunday's final round at Sentosa Golf Club following a bogey-free six-under-par round three.

The unflappable Chun moved to 12-under after 54 holes, claiming sole possession of top spot with a birdie on the par-three 15th.

World No.1 Ko, who was tied for the lead after Friday's second round, shot a 69 to remain in contention while Lee's 65 was the best round of the day.

Lee6 made a blistering start to her day, draining a putt in excess of 20 feet at the fourth as she picked up five shots in the opening seven holes to claim a share of the lead.

She then chipped in for an eagle at the par-five 10th to establish herself among the frontrunners.

Overnight co-leader Amy Yang put the ball in the water at the 16th to register a double-bogey seven, capping a frustrating round that leaves her three shots behind Chun and in a tie for fourth alongside Danielle Kang and Atthaya Thitikul.

Thailand's Patty Tavatanakit, leader at the end of Thursday's first round, set off at a blistering pace early in the day and moved into a share of first on the 13th with the sixth birdie of her round.

But last year's LPGA Rookie of the Year saw her challenge falter when a tee shot into the water at the 15th resulted in a double bogey before a triple-bogey six at the 17th had her drop back
