Saturday 23 November 2019 10:06, UK
Sei Young Kim holds a two-shot lead at the CME Group Tour Championship, as Jodi Ewart Shadoff equalled the lowest round of the week.
Ewart Shadoff posted a seven-under 65 to move inside the top 10 and within six strokes of halfway leader Kim, who holds a two-shot advantage after a second-round 67 in Naples.

England's Georgia Hall started the day two strokes off the pace but joins Ewart Shadoff in a share of ninth after a one-under 71, with compatriots Charley Hull - the 2016 winner - and Bronte Law a further shot back.
"I've only missed one fairway the past two days, so I'm hitting the ball really well," Ewart Shadoff said. "I only had a couple bad iron shots yesterday and a lot of my putts just didn't go in, but today I was rolling a lot of nice putts in, so it was nice to see."
Kim moved ahead by posting birdies at the fifth and seventh and then cancelling out a blemish at the 10th with three gains in her next four holes, before finishing with a tap-in birdie at the par-four last.
Germany's Caroline Masson drained a 40-foot birdie putt from off the green on her final hole to close a six-under 66 and jump into second, with Brooke Henderson three strokes back in third alongside Nelly Korda.
