South Koreans Hee Kyung Bae and Kyu Jung Baek both shot 68 to take a share of the lead after the third round of the LPGA's KEB-HanaBank Championship on Saturday.
Bae birdied five holes after the turn on the Ocean Course at the Sky72 Golf Club, while Baek had six birdies to go with two bogeys.
Both were at five-under 211 overall, one stroke ahead of a large group that includes Inbee Park, Suzann Pettersen of Norway and Pornanong Phatlum of Thailand.
Park could supplant Stacy Lewis, who is not playing this week, at No1 in the world if she wins the tournament.
U.S. Women's Open champion Michelle Wie is just two strokes off the pace after sinking four birdies on the last five holes for a 67.
Wie is making her first start since withdrawing during the first round of the Evian Championship in September after reinjuring a stress fracture in her right hand.
Defending champion Amy Yang of South Korea shot a 67 and is four strokes off the lead. Women's British Open winner Mo Martin struggled with a 75 that left her tied for 54th place.
