SOLID START FOR CHASING GROUP
Stark, Im and Thitikul have all started with straightforward pars on No.1.
Back from the bunker, Korda has absolutely striped one to give herself a good look for birdie on the first hole. Henderson follows suit and has about 20-feet for a bird, while leader Ryu missed the green.
Further down the leaderboard, amateur Jasmine Koo has made a strong start to her round and is two-under through six holes. She moves up to T14 at -4.
THE FINAL GROUP IS OFF
The final group is off and running. Korda finds the fairway bunker with her tee shot, but she should be ok to go for the green from there. Ryu and Henderson are safely on the fairway.
WATCH: RYU’S BIRDIE ON THE 18TH
Ryu shot a five-under 67 in her third round, including a clutch birdie on 18 to take a one-stroke advantage into the final round.
Watch the moment she sunk her putt below…

PENULTIMATE GROUP TEES OFF
The penultimate group of Maja Stark, Jin Hee Im and Atthaya Thitikul – all on eight under – have teed off on hole one. This is rising star Thitikul’s first tournament since recovering from a thumb injury. She had a tough run in to finish her third round, with three straight bogeys on 14, 15 and 16 to shoot even par.
CAN NELLY KORDA TAKE THE NEXT STEP TO SUPERSTARDOM?
World No.1 Nelly Korda is looking to make history by becoming just the third women’s player to win five consecutive LPGA tournaments. She can join Nancy Lopez (1978) and Annika Sorenstam (2004-05) with a victory today. She is also chasing her second Major title.
After a lot of parity in women’s golf, the emergence of a potential superstar like Korda will be huge for the sport. But it won’t be easy, with such a talented leaderboard here on Sunday.
FINAL ROUND UNDERWAY
