Any chance of victory has slipped from the grasp of Lydia Ko with one round remaining at the LPGA Malaysia tournament in Kuala Lumpur.
A one-under 70 in her third round wasn't enough for Ko, who has drifted eight shots off the lead into a share of 12th heading into the final round.
The New Zealand former world No.1 held the outright lead following a first-up 64 but rounds of 72 and 70 in low-scoring conditions have hit the 20-year-old hard.
While Ko hasn't played poorly, her stagnation saw an array of contenders shoot past her, with low scores a requirement for success on the TPC Kuala Lumpur course.
Ko started the day in a tie for sixth, but her solid yet unspectacular round saw her drop a further six spots on the leaderboard.
