Script:

Saturday's third round action at the Manulife LPGA Classic got underway in Ontario with Suzann Pettersen and Mariajo Uribe tied for the lead at 13-under.

But the Norwegian Pettersen was having a fine day.

She rolled in for eagle at the ninth to move two shots clear of the Colombian Uribe at 18-under.

And then moved one shot better when she hit this approach at the 11th to set up a birdie.

From there she came home with seven straight pars for a 6-under 66.

Uribe wasn't far behind. She carded for a 67 to sit at 18-under after round 3.

Cristie Kerr heads the chasing pack behind the top two.

She shot a 67 too and will go into the final round one shot off Uribe in outright third.

World No 1 Lydia Ko has had a sensational 2015 season so far, yet she's 10 shots off the leader Pettersen with the final round to play.

The New Zealander shot a 4-under 68 for her third round to sit at 9-under overall.
