Waterloo, ON (Sports Network) - Inbee Park fired a 5-under 66 on Saturday to stay ahead of the field after three rounds of the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic.

Park, whose only LPGA victory came at the 2008 U.S. Women's Open, finished 54 holes at 14-under-par 199. She also increased her lead to two strokes over Brittany Lang and Hee Kyung Seo, who remained in second place but now sit at minus-12 after carding 4-under 67s.

Anna Nordqvist (67) is alone in fourth place at 10-under 203.

LPGA Champion Shanshan Feng (70) and first-round leader Sandra Changkija (69) are among four players tied for fifth at minus-9. Karin Sjodin (69) and Nicole Hage (67) are also in that group.

The tournament, which is new on the LPGA calendar this year, got back on track Saturday after suffering through weather delays the first two rounds. Seven players needed to finish their second rounds Saturday morning, but the tournament went on as scheduled afterward.
