Lydia Ko remains in contention of claiming her first victory in almost a year but she should need a low final round to do it.
The New Zealander sits in a share of fourth place following the third round of the LPGA's Founders Cup in Arizona. Ko shot a five-under
67 for the third straight day to be four shots back from leader Yu Liu of China.
"If I tidy it up, and keep playing with confidence, I think it'll be a good thing," Ko said.
Ko last won at the LPGA Championship last April.
Liu played the final four holes in four under today for a seven-under 65. The 23-year-old Chinese player eagled the par-5 15th and birdied the par-3 17th and par-4 18th to reach 19-under 197 at Desert Ridge in the event that honours the 13 women who founded the LPGA Tour.
