NORTON, Mass. (AP) — Ruoning Yin chipped in for birdie from just off the 18th green to take the third-round lead Saturday at TPC Boston in the FM Championship.

Yin also holed a 20-foot putt for birdie on the par-3 16th in a 4-under 68. At 12-under 204, the Chinese star had a one-stroke lead over South Korean players Sei Young Kim and Hyo Joo Kim.

Yin has five LPGA Tour victories, winning twice in 2023 and three times in 2024.
