Sweden’s Jessica Karlsson holds a one-shot lead over compatriot Maja Stark at the end of the third day of the Amundi German Masters.
After completing her second round this morning, Karlsson had a four-shot lead with a total of 13-under-par and this afternoon, she added a third round of 71 (-1).
The 29-year-old dropped a shot on the third hole but bounced back with a birdie on the 10th before making another bogey on 13.
However, back-to-back birdies on 16 and 17 ensured the Swede kept her lead intact as she sits on 14-under-par with one round left at Golf & Country Club Seddiner See.
“It was okay,” said Karlsson, whose best result on the LET is finishing in a tie for fifth place. “I struggled a bit on the greens today but from tee to green it was good.
“I am just going to try to hit every shot as good as I can tomorrow and make sure that I can stay focussed.”
Three-time LET winner Maja Stark sits in second place on 13-under-par having fired a third round of 67 (-5) on Saturday afternoon.
The 22-year-old, who is second in the 2022 Race to Costa del Sol, rolled in five birdies on her front nine before making three birdies, a bogey and a double bogey on the back and be in contention once again.

Four shots behind the leader are Spain’s Carmen Alonso and Germany’s Leonie Harm, who are tied for third place on 10-under-par having carded rounds of 67 and 69, respectively.
Alonso, who was bogey-free in round three, said: “Today was a really long day, I played 26 holes. I’m three shots behind, but I’m happy and really happy with my game and how I hit the ball. I had a lot of chances for birdie, so we will see tomorrow.”
Harm dropped a shot on the third but rolled in birdies on six and eight to make the turn in 35 (-1) before she added three more birdies and one bogey on the back nine.
