Australian underdog Karis Davidson has cut the deficit to remain a fighter's chance of landing the biggest pay day in women's golf history.
Davidson will enter the final round of the ($US13 million) $18.2 million Women's PGA Championship in Minnesota five shots off the lead in a tie for eighth at six under par.
The 27-year-old had been seven strokes back at the halfway point before posting a third-round one-under-par 71 at Hazeltine National Golf Club.
