Jennifer Kupcho fired nine birdies and a single bogey on Saturday for an 8-under 64 to set the low round of the week, as well as a new personal best. She takes the lead of the Chevron Championship at 16-under and beat the 54-hole record at Mission Hills with her 200, which is also her lowest three-round score at any major championship.

“Everything was working,” said the American. “I mean, seriously this week I think my putting is definitely the props. I have putted really well, and you got to make putts in a major championship.”

As well as looking for her first major championship title, Kupcho also wants to become the fourth Rolex First-Time Winner of the season. She’s only co-led/led after 54 holes once in her career, at the 2021 ISPS Handa World Invitational, where she finished third. She has come close before in a major-championship, most notably at the 2019 Amundi Evian Championship finishing in a tie for second.

“I can’t control what anyone else is doing, so if I just go out and play my game, I mean, someone else can go out and do what I did today,” said Kupcho. “So really just go out and focus on hitting the fairways and greens and putting good strokes on putts.”

Six shots back in solo second lies defending champion Patty Tavatanakit of Thailand. A comeback win tomorrow would make her only the second player in the major’s history to successfully defend the title, last achieved by Annika Sorenstam (2001, 2002), as well as the eighth player to earn at least two Chevron Championship victories.

“I like chasing. Yeah, for sure. Better feeling. You play without fear and I love doing that,” said Tavatanakit.

Jessica Korda, making her 12th appearance in the major championship, posted a 5-under 67 to move into solo third at 9-under. The six-time LPGA Tour winner’s best finish in any major is a tie for fourth, which she earned twice in 2018 at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and Chevron Championship.

Annie Park sits in fourth at 7-under after a 1-over 73. Park played in the day’s final grouping with 36-hole leader Hinako Shibuno, who fell to 4-under overall after a 5-over 77.

“Even though it wasn’t the results that I wanted, but it was the process that I wanted. That’s exactly what I needed out there. I gave it a 100% out there,” said Park. “I had some tough breaks and that’s nothing that I can control, but I had some, I executed a lot of shots that I was very happy about.”
