LPGA 2023, Portland Classic, Portland, Oregon, 31 Aug - 3 Sept, Day Three
Megan Khang's steady lead after three 66 rounds; Jang's 11 birdies, 62 round
From LPGA News, by The AP:
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Megan Khang closed with an 18-foot birdie putt for her third straight 6-under 66 and a one-stroke lead Saturday in the Portland Classic in a bid to win for the second straight week.
The 25-year-old American was on top at Columbia Edgewater six days after winning the CPKC Women's Open at Shaughnessy in Vancouver, British Columbia, for her first LPGA Tour victory. Columbia Edgewater and Shaughnessy were both designed by A.V. Macan and feature towering trees.
"Game feels pretty solid," Khang said. "I think last week definitely helped build some confidence, knowing I can win out here. It's not just if it was going to happen or when, but like it has happened, so it's definitely a great feeling to have under the belt." Read more

South Korea's Hyo Joon Jang shot a blistering 62 to move within one shot of leader Megan Khang after three rounds of the Portland Classic on Saturday in Portland, Ore.
Khang shot a third consecutive 66 to sit 18-under-par 198 in her bid for wins in consecutive weeks. Khang won her first career tourney at last week's CPKC Women's Open.
But it was the round of Jang that highlighted Saturday's action. She finished with 11 birdies, tying the LPGA record for the second most in a round. Read more
