Chella Choi and Danielle Kang will take a two-shot lead into the final round of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

South Korea's Choi fired a blemish-free four-under par 67 to move into a share of the lead alongside Kang who birdied the last to end the round at 10-under par for the tournament, held at Olympia Fields.

Jiyai Shin carded the round of the day with a seven-under par 64 to surge up the leaderboard, courtesy of a fine five-under par back nine.

Canada's Brooke Henderson, the defending champion, put herself into contention at the second major of the year with a two-under par 69 to finish the day at seven-under par and within three of the lead.

Amy Yang, who held a share of the lead after the first round, fired a level par 71 to finish the third round at six-under par alongside South Korean compatriot Sei Young Kim who battled back from a disappointing front nine which included two bogeys and a double bogey.

Madalene Sagstrom is the leading European player with the Swedish golfer sitting in a tie for seventh place after a five-under par 66 which included no bogeys.

American's Lexi Thompson, the world No 4, and Michelle Wie are also on the same score after firing rounds of 69 and 70 respectively on Saturday.
