NAPLES, Fla. — 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.
