Australia's Su Oh has given herself a chance to claim a maiden LPGA Tour victory, sitting fourth going into the final round of the Meijer Classic in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Oh carded a blemish-free three-under 69 on Saturday to get to 15 under.

However the 25-year-old has her work cut out to catch American star Nelly Korda who is five shots ahead of her.

World No.4 Korda shot a career-best 10-under 62 on Saturday to take a three-stroke lead over Leona Maguire (70), with Madelene Sagstrom third at 16 under after a 65.

"Everything was falling and I was just on a roll," Korda said. "You don't take these days for granted."

Putting with her left-hand low, Korda had 11 birdies and one bogey to get to 20-under 196 at Blythefield Country Club.

"A bit of everything," Korda said. "Mental, putting, especially left low again. I went back, and then I just feel like my putting is better left-hand low."

The 22-year-old birdied the last three holes and five of the last six in the round interrupted by a rain delay.

Players are also preparing for next week's major, the KPMG Women's PGA Championship at Atlanta Athletic Club.
