Yang takes control

South Korea's Amy Yang took control of the Ladies German Open and opened up a five-shot lead after a superb course-record 63 in the third round.

The 18-year-old produced an eagle and nine birdies to secure her lowest round since turning professional in 2006.

England's Lora Fairclough led overnight but dropped to joint fourth after a 72, while Wales' Becky Brewerton is tied for second after a 68.

Frustration for Wie

Michelle Wie struggled to remain in contention during the third round of the Ladies German Open in Munich.

Wie's round of 70 saw her finish the day on nine under par in a share of seventh position with four others.

Wie said: "It was very frustrating and I couldn't get anything going. I hit a couple of irons longer than I thought. I just feel like I left a lot out there and am not playing up to my potential."
