The third round of the weather delayed Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic wrapped up Sunday morning with Austin Ernst atop the leaderboard.
Ernst held a two-stroke lead upon the completion of the third round Sunday morning at the weather plagued event in Prattville, Alabama. Ernst carded a third round, bogey free 68, to take a two-stroke lead ahead of Yani Tseng and Lexi Thompson. She has yet to hold the 54-hole lead in an event. Her first victory on the LPGA Tour came at the 2014 Cambia Portland Classic where she defeated I.K. Kim in a playoff, coming from two strokes behind on Sunday. Ernst will have a quick turnaround in getting ready for the final round, teeing off at 11:47am CST.
