World number two Kim Sei-young made six birdies to take a one-shot lead over top-ranked Ko Jin-young in the CME Group Tour Championship in Florida.
Kim, seeking a second successive victory in the season-ending event in Naples, finished on 13 under par having started day three a shot off the lead.
England’s Georgia Hall bounced back from her lone bogey at the fifth with five birdies in a four-under 68 to leave her three shots off the lead.
Compatriot Charley Hull shares fourth.
Hull is a shot back along with Canadian Brooke Henderson, Australian Minjee Lee and Americans Austin Ernst and Lexi Thompson.
“Well, my position is really good. I have a chance to chase everything,” said Kim, whose two wins since the LPGA’s coronavirus shutdown ended include her first major at the Women’s PGA Championship.
“If I play well tomorrow, I have a good chance.”
