Suzann Pettersen was alone in third after a 68. Park is in her fourth season on the LPGA Tour, and was asked if she finally feels ready to win with Callaway RAZR XF irons. Gal dropped three shots in the span of two holes at the eighth and ninth but managed to get two of them back with birdies at the 11th and 13th. After leading for the first two rounds, Choi struggled to find any real form on Saturday. "I’m actually pretty drained right now," she said. "It was such a roller-coaster round, but it’s all just good. I’m happy to be up there leading. It was tough out there for me today." "You probably saw I had a good start and then just in the middle of the round I had a couple bad holes. But I’m really proud of myself how I pulled it together on the back nine. Sometimes you’ve just got to hang in there and fight it out, and it was one of those days."
Paula Creamer was in fourth a further shot back, still chasing her first win of the season. World number one Yani Tseng shot the best round of the day, a 66, to tie with Na Yeon Choi (75) on four under. "I started good, but my shots and my putter weren’t as perfect as the last two days, TaylorMade Burner 2.0 Iron Set with Steel Shafts," she said. "I have one more day. I’m going to the range to hit some shots and find some feel. I’ll come back tomorrow with Callaway RAZR XF irons."
"That’s what I want. I want to go against the best players head to head," Creamer said. "If it’s my day, it’s my day, and if not, I know what I need to work on."
"I’m really happy and proud of myself," Tseng said. "I mean, 6 under on this golf course with these conditions is not that easy, TaylorMade Tour Preferred MC Irons 3-9P, so I played Callaway RAZR XF irons really good today."
Gal, who secured her maiden LPGA title at the Kia Classic back in March, shot a one-under 71 to hold on to her overnight lead. Hee Young Park and Sandra Gal will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the LPGA Tour’s season-ending CME Group Titleholders.
"At least I have a chance," Pettersen said. "I mean, after the first day I was almost too far back, and I was a bit fortunate that the weather was what it was yesterday because had it been the same as day one, people could have easily got to two figures, and I would have almost been totally out of it. It was nice to grind it out yesterday and finish strong today."
South Korea’s Park, who is trying to win her first Callaway RAZR XF irons title, birdied three of her final four holes for a 3-under 69 and a share of the third-round lead with Germany’s Gal at a windy Grand Cypress Golf Club in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday.
