Caroline Masson of Germany shot a 4-under 68 to double her lead to two strokes after the third round at the Women's British Open on Saturday.
The 22-year-old Masson made three birdies in the front nine and three on the back to hold off a late charge from Yani Tseng. The top-ranked Taiwenese player closed within a shot at one stage after picking up five strokes in as many holes, including an eagle.
"I was quite nervous at the start," said Masson, who has totaled 15-under 201. "I hit a poor tee shot at the first and then three-putted from 40 feet, but I settled down with a birdie at the next when I hit my 5-iron to 7 feet and holed it.
"I hit some really good shot out there today and really enjoyed it. The wind was a bit stronger and there were some tough pin positions."
