Hyo Joo Kim and Hye-Jin Choi handled a swirling wind and made enough birdies in their third round to build a one-shot lead at the LPGA's Dow Championship.
The South Koreans were among only six teams who broke par on Saturday (Sunday AEST), posting a 1-under 69 in foursomes to build their advantage.
After a terrific start to the tournament, double major winner Nelly Korda and Olivia Cowan made only one birdie, had a bogey on both par 5s at Midland Country Club and shot 76 to fall six shots behind.
