England’s Charley Hull will take a one-shot lead into the final day of the LPGA’s Annika tournament in Florida after hitting a two-under-par 68 in round three.
The 28-year-old made two birdies on the front nine before a mixed back nine that included three birdies and three bogeys to close on 12-under overall.
China’s Weiwei Zhang and American Nelly Korda trail Hull by one stroke at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair.
World number one Korda finished strongly to card a three-under 67 and cut Hull’s overnight lead by one, while Zhang surged up the leaderboard with a superb eight-under 62.
Zhang’s round, the lowest of the tournament so far, included nine birdies and one bogey.
Korda is a three-time winner of the event, which is named in honour of Sweden’s 10-time major champion Annika Sorenstam.
Thailand’s Wichanee Meechai and South Korea’s Jin Hee Im are two shots further back of Korda and Zhang after rounds of 68.
