Yan had a bogey-free afternoon round to get to 10 under in breezy conditions at Blythefield Country Club. The 30-year-old American is winless on the LPGA Tour.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I struck it pretty well the last two rounds,\u201d Yan said. \u201cAnd I putted well, so that kind of adds up to birdies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lottie Woad of England and Cassie Porter of Australia were a stroke back. Woad shot 66, and Porter had a 68.<\/p>\n

\u201cDefinitely challenging,\u201d Woad said. \u201cWasn\u2019t as windy as yesterday, but definitely still there. So I think the pins were maybe a little more tricky so just had to play smart to a few of them.\u201d<\/p>

Two-time winner Brooke Henderson was 5 under, following an opening 73 with a 66. Defending champion Carlota Ciganda was 3 under after a 69.<\/p>\n

Second-ranked Jeeno Thitikul missed the cut, shooting 74-70.<\/p>\n

University of Oregon star Kiara Romero also dropped out with rounds of 72 and 73. She\u2019s the No. 1 amateur in the world and was the low amateur at the U.S. Women\u2019s Open, where she tied for sixth.<\/p>
