Jennifer Kupcho started fast and kept on going Saturday in Rancho Mirage at the Chevron Championship to take a six-stroke lead into the last round ever at Mission Hills in the major championship. Kupcho shot an eight-under-par 64 on another hot and sunny afternoon in the Coachella Valley for a tournament-record 16-under 200 total — also the lowest three-round score in a women’s major. Defending champion Patty Tavatanakit, a former UCLA standout playing alongside Kupcho in the second-to-last group, was second after a 70. But Tavatanakit missed the eagle putt and Kupcho got up-and-down for birdie, holing a six-footer to match Tavatanakit.
