Haeran Ryu leading Women's PGA Championship by one shot - ESPN
CHASKA, Minn. — Haeran Ryu shot a 4-under 68 on Saturday to take a one-shot lead over Brooke Henderson after three rounds of the Women's PGA Championship.
Ina Yoon, who entered the day with a five-shot lead, struggled early but settled down to finish with a 3-over 75 and is two shots off the pace.
Dewi Weber, who is the 210th ranked player in the World Golf Rankings and is seeking her first career LPGA win, birdied three of the final four holes and is three shots back after a 4-under 68. A Lim Kim joins her there.
Nelly Korda, chasing a historic third straight major championship win, shot a 1-under 71 on a sun-drenched but windy day at Hazeltine National Golf Club outside Minneapolis. She and Alison Lee are four shots off the lead, which history indicates is important.
In the past 35 Women's PGA Championships, the eventual winner was leading or within four shots of the lead after three rounds.
The top-ranked player in the world, Korda has struggled on the greens over the first three rounds, going 7-for-11 on putts between 3 and 5 feet, ranking 65th among the 68 remaining players. She was 19-of-20 from that distance over four rounds when she won the U.S. Open earlier this month.
«The greens are pretty slick,» said Korda, who three-putted two greens in her round. «They don't have too much grass on them. The short putts are pretty difficult. Putting in general, when it gets this windy, you have to calculate in the wind, too, and a gust here and there. Sometimes you just aren't as confident with your lines.»
Ryu's score tied for the lowest round of the day, one day after her 64 was Friday's low score.
She played the first seven holes in 4 under, including a 28-foot eagle putt on No. 7 and a birdie putt on No. 9 that rimmed
