Kim extends lead, Thai sisters lurking
South Korean rookie Kim Sei-Young birdied two of her final three holes to extend her lead at the LPGA Tour's ANA Inspiration event to three shots.
Kim fired a three-under 69 to finish 54 holes with a 10-under 206 in the first major championship of the season. American Stacy Lewis (68) is second while Thailand's Ariya Jutanugarn and former winners Morgan Pressel and Brittany Lincicome are tied for third at six-under par.
Ariya's older sister Moriya shot her second straight 70 and is tied with China's Feng Shan-Shan and South Korea's Jenny Shin for third at five-under, five shots back of Kim.
Kim is seeking her second career victory on the LPGA Tour and her first major title. Her first win came at the second event of this season, the Pure Silk Bahamas Classic, in February.
She finished her third round with birdies on number 16 and 17 and a par on 18.
