MIDLAND, Mich. (AP) Defending champions Cydney Clanton and Jasmine Suwannapura shot a bogey-free 5-under 65 in alternate-shot play Friday to take a share of the lead into the final round of the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational.
Pajaree Anannarukarn and Aditi Ashok had a bogey-free 67 to match Clanton and Suwannapura at 15-under 195 at Midland Country Club. The teams will close Saturday with a best-ball round.
Suwannapura and Clanton won the inaugural event by six shots in 2019. The tournament was canceled last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Suwannapura and Clanton had their third straight 65, playing alternate shot Wednesday and best ball Thursday.

The Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational is the lone official team event on the LPGA Tour schedule and in the words of Danielle Kang, “what a great day to have a partner.” Along with Lydia Ko, Team Sister from Another Mister fired a 7-under 63 in the second round at Midland Country Club to reach -9 overall.
“What a great day to have a partner, to just have my back because I was not playing great,” said Kang. “I tried to have a par at least secured here and there. I wanted to give Lydia a little bit more freedom as much as possible, but I wasn’t making any putts and just wasn’t as tidy as yesterday.

Ariya and Moriya Jutanugarn of Thailand combined for an 11-under 59 Thursday to take the second-round lead at the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational, an LPGA Tour team event at Midland Country Club in Midland, Mich.
Playing the round under a best-ball format, the sisters made six birdies on the front nine and five more on the back, including No. 18, to score golf s hallowed number.
In the tournament s debutant year in 2019, one round of 58 and one 59 were scored during best ball, so Thursday s will not be counted as an official 59. Annika Sorenstam is responsible for the LPGA s only stroke-play 59 at a tournament in 2001.
