A sensational round of 62 by Nelly Korda has left Leona Maguire with a three-shot deficit to overturn if she is to win her first LPGA Tour title.

The Cavan golfer entered moving day at the Meijer LPGA Classic with a three-stroke lead of her own, over Su Oh, and she stayed ahead of all her challengers with the exception of Korda during a steady third round.
