Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
SPRINGFIELD, Ill., July 19 (UPI) -- Yani Tseng led after the third round of the LPGA State Farm Classic Saturday but Michelle Wie was disqualified for the second time in her career.
Tseng, who claimed her first major championship in June, posted her third straight 6-under 66 Saturday to take a two-shot lead. She completed 54 holes at 18-under 198 and would have been just one shot ahead of Wie.
Wie had a 5-under 67 Saturday for 199 but was disqualified for leaving the scoring area before signing her scorecard after Friday's second round. She was alerted by members from the scoring tent and returned to sign the card. The LPGA Tour did not discover the violation until Saturday after Wie had begun her third round.
Katie Futcher had a 66 Saturday and goes into the final round at 16-under 200.
Hee-Won Han, six-time winner on the LPGA Tour, turned in a 61 Saturday to tie for third, at 201, with Ji Young Oh (69).
