Lexi Thompson Tied for Lead Heading into Final Round at Meijer LPGA Classic

Lexi Thompson surged late with birdies on the 16th and 18th holes Saturday to grab a share of the lead after three rounds at the Meijer LPGA Classic. Despite an off day with her ball-striking, the 30-year-old Floridian leaned on grit and a strong short game to post a 4-under 68 at Blythefield Country Club, putting her at 11-under 205. Thompson, who last won on the LPGA Tour in 2019, is seeking her 12th career title and her first since a playoff loss at this same event a year ago.
