The Englishwoman entered round three two shots off the lead and despite her two under par effort, she could not keep pace with Sei Young Kim, who fired an excellent 68 to get to 10 under overall.
Puerto Rico's Maria Torres sits in third at five under, a shot clear of a group of five players including world number two Minjee Lee.
Hull bogeyed the second but recovered well with birdies on the sixth, eighth and 15th as she goes in search of a second LPGA Tour title.
Kim also made a poor start with a bogey on the first but bounced back with an eagle on the par-five fifth and gains on the 11th, 15th and 18th.
With a Win
Sei Young Kim would earn her eighth career victory and visit the winner's circle for the fifth consecutive year
With her eighth career victory, Kim would tie Mi Hyun Kim for the fifth most wins by a Korean player in LPGA history; only Se Ri Pak (25), Inbee Park (19), Jiyai Shin (11) and Na Yeon Choi (9) have more wins
Kim would become the season's fifth winner from the Republic of Korea, joining Eun-Hee Ji, Jin Young Ko, Sung Hyun Park and Amy Yang
With the $270,000 winner's check, Kim would project to move from 44th to 41st on the All-Time Money List with $6,402,923
