Salas was practically flawless in delivering a 30 on the front nine to go from a one-shot deficit to a two-shot lead. It's just that Salas was playing out of this world, and Korda was not too far behind. She brought a U.S. Open game — fairways and greens, nothing fancy — to the Women's PGA and it worked. Korda is a rising star, the younger sister of Jessica Korda and the daughter of former Australian Open tennis champion Petr Korda. It's different from her victory at the ANA Inspiration, where she started the final round with a five-shot lead.

Lizette Salas and Nelly Korda are tied for the lead going into the final round of the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.

Nelly Korda could see there were low scores at Atlanta Athletic Club.

Salas had one of five rounds in the 60s from the early wave, with four players at 69. “I played really, really good out there today, except for one mud ball,” Park said. “I got probably like five, six mud balls out there, but that one mud ball really, really cost me, probably too much. I played probably almost flawless except for getting a mud ball. U.S. Women's Open champion Yuka Saso and Lexi Thompson, whose back-nine collapse at Olympic Club three weeks ago cost her the Women's Open, played with Park.

NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nevada — (AP) — Danielle Kang and Lizette Salas set up a showdown Friday for a spot in the final 16 in the LPGA Match Play. “Of course,” Salas said. On Thursday in hot conditions, Kang beat Madelene Sagstrom 2 and 1, and Salas topped Albane Valenzuela 3 and 2. “We go way back and we know each other’s games, and obviously this is her home course," Salas said. “Luckily par was good enough.”The tournament is the LPGA Tour’s first match play event since the 2017 Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Mexico.
