Chanettee Wannasaen maintained a two-shot lead Friday in the Kroger Queen City Championship, with top-ranked fellow Thai star Jeeno Thitikul and Charley Hull making big moves. Wannasaen, the 21-year-old player trying to win for the third straight year on the LPGA Tour, shot a 4-under 68 at soggy TPC River’s Bend to reach 13-under 131. She opened with a 63. Thitikul and Hull were tied for second with Olivia Cowan. Thitikul had a 64, making four straight birdies in a back-nine 30. She won the Mizuho Americas Open in June at Liberty National for her fifth LPGA Tour victory. Hull eagled the par-5 11th and birdied the final two holes for a 65.
