Australian Hannah Green closed the third round with a one-stroke lead at the Women's PGA Championship.
Green carded a two-under-par 70 on Saturday to remain the woman to beat at Hazeltine National Golf Club. The 22-year-old teed off with a three-shot advantage, but Green's lead was cut to one after bogeying the last in Chaska, Minnesota.
