NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — Lauren Coughlin holed a bunker shot for eagle on the par-5 17th hole Saturday, and she and Andrew Novak teamed for a stout 4-under 68 in foursomes to build a one-shot lead going into the final round of the Grant Thornton Invitational.

It's another chance for Novak to pick up a team title this year. He partnered with Ben Griffin to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The Grant Thornton is the only mixed-team event.

They were at 19-under 125 and leading by one shot over Charley Hull and Michael Brennan, who were poised to share the lead until a three-putt bogey on the final hole when Hull lipped out from just outside 3 feet. They shot 71.

Lexi Thompson and Wyndham Clark were two shots behind after finishing with eight straight pars for a 72.

NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — Lexi Thompson and Wyndham Clark shared the lead Friday with Charley Hull and Michael Brennan, both teams making only three pars in the scramble format as each posted a 17-under 55 to set the scoring record in the Grant Thornton Invitational.

Scoring conditions were ideal at Tiburon Golf Club, and the format allowed for it.

Brennan, who started the year on the PGA Tour of Americas and won the Bank of Utah Championship on an exemption, was filling in for Daniel Berger. Brennan and Hull went 13 straight holes with a birdie or an eagle. They had to settle for pars on the 16th and 18th holes.

“It’s quite funny because actually I was changing my swing last week and I come on Tuesday and I could not even keep the ball on the planet. So I was actually pretty nervous today,” Hull said. “Actually, it worked out pretty well.”
