Nelly Korda has shot a three-under 69 within the weather-delayed third spherical of the Chevron Championship to enter the ultimate spherical of the yr’s first main one shot off the lead.
Play was suspended on Saturday due to lightning, forcing the completion of the third spherical early Sunday morning at Carlton Woods.
Haeran Ryu of South Korea shot a bogey-free 67 with 5 birdies to enter the ultimate spherical main at 205 after 54 holes.
Gabriela Ruffels is the main Australian at 4 below after a 3rd spherical 70. Stephanie Kyriacou is three below, Robyn Choi one below, Sarah Kemp two over and Karis Davidson 4 over.
Korda, who’s making an attempt to tie an LPGA Tour document along with her fifth straight victory, had completed 11 holes when play was suspended. She has a three-round complete of 206 to enter Sunday’s fourth spherical tied with Brooke Henderson for second place.
Henderson shot a 64 within the third spherical to set a scoring document for the event since its transfer from Mission Hills, California, to Texas final yr. The Canadian, who has 13 LPGA wins with two majors, had a one-putt streak of 10 with six birdies and an eagle in that stretch.
Atthaya Thitikul, who was tied for the lead after two rounds, shot a 72 within the third spherical to fall right into a tie for fourth place with Jin Hee Im and Maja Stark.
