Nelly Korda stays in contention at KPMG Women's PGA

Nelly Korda remains four shots behind the leader after the third round of the KPMG Women's PGA Championship. Haeran Ryu holds the lead at 11 under par.

Korda shot a one-under 71 on Saturday at Hazeltine in Chaska, Minnesota. She is tied with Alison Lee at seven under par.

Ryu leads at 11 under after a 68. Brooke Henderson sits at 10 under following a 69, while Ina Yoon is third at nine under after a 75.

Korda lost 1.178 strokes to the field on the greens but gained ground with her ball striking. A win on Sunday would make her the third player to capture the first three majors of the season and earn her a spot in the LPGA Hall of Fame.

Henderson noted her strong week after her sister Brittany gave birth to a daughter on Thursday. Yoon, who was suspended for 18 months in 2022 over a rules violation, said she learned to play through nerves with the lead.

The final threesome of Henderson, Yoon and Ryu is scheduled to tee off at 10:25 a.m. ET on Sunday.
