Wie leads strong field in Singapore, Henderson slipping back

LPGA HSBC Women's Champions leaderboard http://www.lpga.com/tournaments/hsbc-womens-champions/leaderboard

Playing on a sponsors exemption, and ranked #179 in the world, Michelle Wie has shot rounds of 66 69 67 -14 to take the lead into Sunday's final round as she vies for her first win since 2014.

Looking like the Wie of old, and playing pain free after years of dogged injuries, she made 6 birdies and admitted she feels a bit nervous. "There definitely is some butterflies out there, but it’s exciting getting that feeling again and being in this position.” Besides her never ending fashion stylings, the first thing you will notice about Michelle is she has dropped that bent over, table top putting stance that made us all feel like we had sinned everytime we watched.

Brooke Henderson slipped back to a T11 after her -1 71 but at -8 it seems her chance of winning has gone, at least for this week. Her driving and ball striking have been magnificent with 13/14 fairways in regulation, but as Judy Rankin said " when Brooke learns how to use that flat stick, look out world #1"

Alena Sharp is not having her best week, 75 74 74 +7 T61.

Lydia Ko shot 67 and is in a three-way T2 at -12 along  with Thai star Ariya Jutanugarn (69) and south Korean, Park Sung-Hyun (68).

Meanwhile Inbee Park shot a -1 71 and is lurking at -11 just 3 shots back along with defending champion Ha Na Jang (68).
