Grand Rapids, Mich.

Anna Nordqvist and Lee-Anne Pace both shot 8-under 64s on Saturday to share the third-round lead in the Meijer LPGA Classic.

Nordqvist and Pace birdied four of the first five holes and two of the last three — both making 20-footers on the par-4 18th — in their bogey-free rounds. They were at 18-under 198 at Blythefield Country Club.

Nordqvist has eight LPGA Tour victories, winning the Founders Cup and The Evian Championship last year.

"It just feels good playing good golf," the 31-year-old said. "I feel like I need to trust myself."

She birdied the par-3 fourth hole with the tee moved back behind the river.

"It was playing 218 today and I had a 3-wood," Nordqvist said. "I don't get a lot of roll on my 3-wood, so I pitched in front of the green and it just rolled up perfect. So, it's a tough hole, but I like the way LPGA challenges us."

Pace, 37, won the 2014 Blue Bay LPGA in China for her lone LPGA Tour title.

Second-round leader So Yeon Ryu was third at 16 under after a 69. Angela Stanford (66) and Caroline Masson (68) were another stroke back. Ryu had six birdies, a double bogey and two bogeys.

Sophia Popov (67) and Sakura Yokomine (70) were 14 under, and Azahara Munoz (65) and Lydia Ko (67) were 13 under.

Lexi Thompson, the 2015 winner, had a 67 to match Michelle Wie (69) at 11 under.

Defending champion Brooke Henderson was 9 under after a 68.

Nasa Hataoka aced the par-3 14th to win a Kia Sorento car. She was 6 under after a 70.
