World number one Jeeno Thitikul set a 54-hole tournament record at the CME Group Tour Championship as she extended her lead to six shots.<\/b><\/p>\n

Thailand’s Thitikul fired an eight-under-par 64 in her third round to move 22 under overall.<\/p>\n

“It has been pretty good,” said 22-year-old Thitikul, who won this title last year at 22 under.<\/p>\n

“I was just trying to focus on myself and trying to make birdies and birdies and birdies because I know there’s a bunch of players who will be able to make some more birdies.”<\/p>\n

Thitikul’s compatriot Pajaree Anannarukarn and world number two Nelly Korda both shot 65 on Saturday and are joint second.<\/p>\n

Thitikul, who led by three stokes at the halfway stage, bogeyed her first hole on Saturday.<\/p>\n

But she then birdied the second, fourth, fifth and sixth holes, following up on the back nine with four birdies in a row from the 11th to the 15th – and another on the 17th.<\/p>\n

Victory would make Thitikul the second woman – after South Korea’s Ko Jin-young in 2020 and 2021 – to win the tournament in successive years. <\/p>\n

She would also receive $4m (\u00a33.1m) in prize money from a total pot of $11m (\u00a38.4m).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
