Leona Maguire is just two shots off the lead heading into the final round of the Meijer Classic.
The Cavan woman shot a third round 69 to move to 13-under-par for the tournament and into a tie for fifth place.
Maguire, chasing her second victory on the LPGA Tour, is two shots behind Amy Yang in a stacked leaderboard at the Blythefield Country Club in Michigan.

She then birdied two of the three par fives on the back nine to shoot a three-under-par 69 that included two bogeys.
The 28-year-old knows she will have to produce her best round of the week to win on Sunday.
"I think on this golf course you know everybody is going low, so even if someone is at 14, 15, you know they're going to get to 17, 18, 20. It's just a case of trying to do what I can do and make as many birdies as I can," she said after her third round.
"I can't really judge what other people do. So, yeah, stick to my own game plan, hit a lot of fairways and greens, and ultimately come down to who holes the most putts tomorrow."
Stephanie Meadow could also have a say on Sunday after carding a four-under-par 68 to get to nine-under-par for the tournament and a tie for 13th place.
