“Just took a few days just to try to figure out what was going on," said Corpuz. "Just wasn't really hitting the ball very well last week, and I've just always felt a lot more comfortable on Bermuda. Grew up on Bermuda, so been putting a lot better this week, as well, and yeah, just trying to take better swings.
“Obviously there's a lot of really good players out there, and just keep reminding myself that at my best I'm just as good as them. Yeah, that's what I've been telling myself.”

Corpuz stayed bogey-free while Yin bogeyed the par-5 4th.
"Even though I didn't hit it as good as I did the first day or the second day, I did manage to score well, and I just adapted and I stayed patient," said Yin. "My caddie kept telling me to stay patient, so I'm glad I did that."
“I know where my game is at. I know how it's been performing for the last three days and the game plan for this golf course, and it's been working well. All I need to do is just get my energy back to semi-decent level, and then I think I'll be good to go. I think my focus today for the rest of the day is just to reenergize and be ready for tomorrow.”
South Korea's Amy Yang closed with a 65 for a share of third place at 9-under alongside Switzerland's Albane Valenzuela (68) and Megan Khang (70) of the USA.
World number 2 Nelly Korda is tied a further shot back after carding a 70.
