Bae holds on to LPGA lead in Mexico
The 23-year-old rookie started with three straight birdies but was unable to capitalize on that momentum, finishing with a one-under 71.

Bae's impressive start was followed by a bogey on the par-four sixth but the back nine proved challenging as she had to settle for pars before ending with bogey on the final hole.
"I was definitely a little nervous and tense heading into the third round," Bae admitted. "The three birdies back-to-back-to-back were a big confidence booster for me (but) I didn't finish as well as I wanted to, but that's OK. It just tells me I need to fight more in the last 18 holes."
Chasing closely behind Bae are Japan's Chisato Iwai and China's Zhang Yahui, who both shot four-under 68s on Saturday to climb to a tie for second at six-under.
Zhang said she simply focused on conserving pars on tougher holes while being aggressive on scoring opportunities.

"I just wanted to save all the pars. If the hole was difficult, I aimed to keep it on the fairway and on the green. But for par-fives or shorter par-fours, I would really try to make birdies," she added.
Iwai, meanwhile, delivered one of the cleanest rounds of the day, bouncing back from a second-round 74 to put herself firmly in contention.
Her 68 included four birdies, capped by a pair on the final two holes.
Australia's Gabriela Ruffels sits alone in fourth after a steady 71.
A cluster of players, including Lindy Duncan, Brianna Do and Germany's Aline Krauter, shared fifth at four-under.

Messi ruled out of Miami's Leagues Cup quarter-final v Tigres
Lionel Messi was ruled out of Inter Miami's Leagues Cup quarter-final against Tigres UANL on Wednesday, a day after coach Javier Mascherano revealed the Argentine superstar was still struggling with injury. Messi, who has battled a "minor" muscle injury since a Leagues Cup group match against Necaxa on August 2, had returned to Miami's lineup Saturday after a two-week absence, scoring a goal after coming on as a substitute in a 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Galaxy. However the 38-year-old World Cup winner looked to be in physical discomfort during his second-half appearance, and he was not in the lineup announced before the clash in the cross-border club competition for teams from Major League Soccer and Mexico's Liga-MX. Messi's absence is a blow to Miami's hopes of regaining the Leagues Cup title they won in 2023 during the Argentine icon's fairytale first season in Major League Soccer. Mascherano predicted a stiff test against Tigres, the eight-time Mexican champions, describing them as "a team with a lot of offensive power." Miami's game with Tigres was one of four Leagues Cup quarter-finals set for Wednesday. Mexico's Toluca face Orlando City before Los Angeles Galaxy host Pachuca, while the Seattle Sounders take on Puebla at home. bb/mlm
