LOS ANGELES—Cheyenne Knight shot a bogey-free 4–under 67 on Saturday to take a two-shot lead through three rounds of the LA Championship at Wilshire Country Club.
Knight was at 9–under 204 through 54 holes, and her best round of the week had special significance.
Knight made a 20-foot putt for eagle on the par-5 13th hole and birdied the par-4 17th to shoot 3-under 33 on the back nine. Her late brother, Brandon, who died in a car crash when Knight was 12, wore No. 33 while playing high school football in Texas.
Knight teared up when an LPGA official mentioned her back-nine score.
“It’s always special,” Knight said. “I have someone up there watching over me. He’s always with me.”…
