THE WOODLANDS, Texas (AP) — Nelly Korda shot a 3-under 69 in the weather-delayed third round of the Chevron Championship on Sunday to enter the final round of the year’s first major one shot off the lead.
Play was suspended Saturday because of lightning, forcing the completion of the third round early Sunday morning at Carlton Woods.
Korda, who is trying to tie an LPGA Tour record with her fifth straight victory, had finished 11 holes when play was suspended Saturday. She has a three-round total of 206 to enter Sunday’s fourth round tied with Brooke Henderson for second place.
Henderson shot a 64 in the third round to set a scoring record for the tournament since its move from Mission Hills, California, to Texas last year. 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.
