CONWAY — Heading into the final round of the 2020 New England Women’s Amateur Championships at the North Conway Country Club, Shannon Johnson of Thorny Lea Golf Club in Brockton, Mass., finds herself in a familiar position — atop the 50-golfer leader board by two strokes and on the verge of a three-peat.

Johnson is the lone golfer under par after two wet days of play at the historic links, which first opened in 1895 and previously hosted the tournament in 1990. She fired a 2-under-par 68 Tuesday to move from second to first place with a two-round score 73-68 — 141 at 1-under par.
