Overview
- Korda closed her third round with three straight birdies to card a 4‑under 67 and, on Saturday, reached a 6‑under total that she now shares with Kim Sei‑young.
- Jennifer Kupcho and In Gee Chun sit one stroke behind the leaders after third‑round 69s, keeping several major winners within striking distance of the title.
- Alison Lee and Ruoning Yin had been co‑leaders after 36 holes, highlighting Lee’s comeback on a deferred maternity exemption and underscoring how the leaderboard has shifted this week.
- Young players surged on Moving Day: Charley Hull shot the tournament low 65 to climb the board, and 17‑year‑old amateur Asterisk Talley posted a bogey‑free 66, the lowest weekend round by an amateur in U.S. Women’s Open history.
- Riviera’s exacting setup — the course chosen for the 2028 Olympic competition — has rewarded late low scores and left a tightly bunched leaderboard that makes Sunday’s final round wide open and high stakes for season and major records.
