List leads by 1 at Honda Classic

-

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Luke List made birdie from the bunker on the final hole Saturday for a 4-under 66 and a one-shot lead in the Honda Classic as he goes after his first PGA Tour victory.

Right behind was Justin Thomas, the PGA Tour player of the year.

Still in the mix was Tiger Woods.

List bounced back from his only bogey of the round on the par-3 17th hole to move past Thomas and Webb Simpson with his birdie on the par-5 18th. He was at 7-under 203. This is the second time he's had a share of the 54-hole lead.

Thomas birdied three of his last five holes for a 65 and will play in the final group.

Woods had a 69 and was seven shots behind in a tie for 11th.

LPGA THAILAND: Jessica Korda kept an eye on her younger sister while firing a 4-under 68 in the third round to lead Moriya Jutanugarn by four strokes.

A day after a coursereco­rd 62 at Siam Country Club, Korda fought back from a bogey on the front nine with five birdies to finish on 20-under 196 overall. The American was on the 18th hole when concerns over lightning suspended play for 30 minutes before play resumed.

Australian Minjee Lee (68) is third on 15-under 201, followed by former top-ranked Ariya Jutanugarn (65) on 202. Lexi Thompson (69), the 2016 champion, is a stroke further back. Michelle Wie (69) is tied for sixth.

Brittany Lincicome was in second place after the second round, four shots behind Jessica Korda, but the American dropped down the board and is tied for ninth after a 73.

QATAR MASTERS: Oliver Fisher birdied his last four holes in the third round to share the lead at Doha Golf Club.

The 29-year-old Englishman shot a 7-under 65 for an overall 16-under 200. Eddie Pepperell (66) picked up shots on the 16th and 18th to catch his compatriot and the pair enjoy a twoshot lead over American Sean Crocker (67) in third.

David Horsey (65) was the biggest mover of the day with the Englishman improving 31 places for a share of fourth place at 12 under with, among others, Frenchman Gregory Havret and Italian Andrea Pavan.

Fisher, winner of the 2011 Czech Open, made some stunning putts on his way in. After an eight-footer on the par-4 15th, he then drove the green on the short par-4 16th for an easy birdie, before making a 12-footer on the 17th and a 15-footer on the 18th.
