SANYA, China — Rio Takeda of Japan shot a 3-under 69 to hold a two-shot lead after three rounds of the LPGA's Blue Bay tournament on China's southern island of Hainan. Takeda was on 9-under 207 going into Sunday's final round. The 21-year-old Takeda is looking for her second LPGA tournament victory after winning the Toto Japan Classic four months ago in a six-hole, sudden-death playoff. Takeda was two shots ahead of Gigi Stoll, Auston Kim and Cassie Porter. Stoll shot a 68, Kim finished with a 70 and Porter shot an even-par 72.
