Nelly Korda and Lizette Salas will head into the final day of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship tied for the lead at 15-under.

Korda started her round with a one shot lead following her record-tying 63 on Friday and produced four birdies for a bogey-free 68.

“Lizette was rolling in some nice ones today, and I told myself, I’ve got to hit it close to even keep up with her,” said Korda. “There’s still 18 more holes, and there’s a lot of water in play here, and there’s a lot of really difficult tee shots I would say on this golf course that if you just miss it by a little, you’re in the water.

“I think when you get into that mindset of kind of egging each other on, it’s fun, but it’s also nerve-racking. Your adrenaline definitely gets up there. You still have 18 more holes, a lot of golf left out here, so anything can happen. Someone from behind can come and shoot a really low score. You just never know with golf, and that’s the beauty of it.”

Salas made six birdies on the front nine to make the turn in 30. She suffered from her first and only bogey of the tournament at the par-4 10th to sign for a 67.

“I’m really proud of myself for how I started and how I maintained that confidence throughout the round even though putts weren’t dropping,” said Salas. “I was embracing it. I was greeting some fans and just enjoying the moment. It’s been a while since I’ve done that. I got off to a really hot start, and I didn’t realize I shot 30 until I signed my scorecard. I think it’s good momentum going into tomorrow.”
