Minjee Lee's hopes of a record pay day have evaporated after rampant world No.1 Jeeno Thitikul seized total command of women's golf's lucrative Tour Championship in Florida.
Continuing a phenomenal run at the showpiece event, Thitikul carded a third-round eight-under-par 64 to storm to a six-shot lead in the elite 60-player field.
At 16 under, Thai compatriot Pajaree Anannarukarn and world No.2 Nelly Korda are the defending champion's closest pursuers after posting matching third-round 65s on Saturday (Sunday AEST).
