ORLANDO: India's
Aditi Ashok had an average day with just one birdie against three bogeys in the third round to slip to tied 64th at the
Gainbridge LPGA
here. Aditi shot two-over 74 and is now three-over for three rounds with just one round left in the competition.
American
Nelly Korda
moved into the lead with a four-under 68. If she wins, it will be a second win in succession for the Kordas, as her sister, Jessica won Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions last month to start the new
LPGA Tour
season.
Meanwhile, 50-year-old Swede Annika Sorenstam (79) sank to the bottom of the leaderboard.
Nelly Korda dropped only one shot on a breezy day at Lake Nona to lead by one over Patty Tavatanakit.
Korda was at 13-under 203, one shot ahead of Tavatanakit, the blossoming Thai star who needed only a half-dozen starts on the Symetra Tour to earn her LPGA card when she left
UCLA
.
Tavatanakit (66) will be in the final group later on Sunday with Korda and Angel Yin, who had a 65 and was three shots behind.
Lydia Ko
, the 36-hole leader trying for a first win in nearly three years, was also three shots behind after carding 72.
Also at 10-under 203 was Jin Young Ko, the No. 1 player in women's golf, who shot a 66.
