(Reuters) - Lydia Ko put herself in strong position to win her third straight major championship when she earned a one-stroke lead after the third round at KMPG Women’s PGA Championship in Sammamish, Washington on Saturday.

If the 19-year-old South Korean-born Kiwi closes the deal at the tight and demanding Sahalee Country Club just east of Seattle on Sunday, she would become the first teenager in the modern era to win three majors, and just the second ever.
