Nelly Korda and Lizette Salas will enter the final round of the 2021 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship with a share of a five-shot lead.

Korda, the overnight leader, shot a bogey-free 68 which included four birdies to reach 15 under.

“Yeah, I mean, you still have 18 more holes, a lot of golf left out here, so anything can happen,” said Korda, who will be paired with Salas on Sunday.

“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, meanwhile, carded a 67 with six birdies and one bogey to join Korda atop the leaderboard.

“Yeah, I mean, 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 committed to each shot, and I knew — I wasn’t uncomfortable, which I haven’t said that in a very long time.

“I was embracing it. I was greeting some fans and just enjoying the moment. It’s been a while since I’ve done that.”
