China's Wenbo Liu carded a 4-under 68 on Thursday to move to 12-under 204 and take a one-shot lead into the final round of the LPGA Qualifying Series' Qualifying Stage at Plantation Golf and Country Club in Venice, Fla. The 198-player field is chasing a top-55-and-ties finish to advance to the Final Qualifying Stage in Mobile, Ala.

Liu, playing the Qualifying Stage for the fourth time, bounced back from a double bogey on No. 18 with a birdie on No. 1, her favorite of the day. A CLPGA Tour winner earlier this year, she credited her improved mental game.

“I think the mental game is very important. For the past three years, my mental game was not good, and this year it is better,” said Liu.

LPGA Tour member Juniper Jang matched Liu's 68 to sit alone in second at 11-under 205. Second-round leader Camille Boyd signed for a 1-under 71 and is third at 10-under 206.

Mexico's Maria Fassi posted the low round among the leaders, a 6-under 66 highlighted by a hole-out eagle, to climb from T21 to fourth at 8-under 208. Fassi opened with a 3-over 75 and said she came into the week with a “scared mindset” on the Panther Course.

“Today I told myself, let's go beat the golf course. This course has beaten me three times, and it was time for me to punch back,” said Fassi. “I started playing a little more aggressively and having faith and belief in my game, and I'm just happy that it showed up.”

The final round will begin on Friday at 7:30 a.m. local time. Follow along with live scoring
