A third-round 67 enabled Na Yeon Choi to join Stacy Lewis at the top of the leaderboard in the HSBC Women's Champions in Singapore.
The 25-year-old South Korean's five under par round contained six birdies and one bogie, moving her level with Lewis at the head of the field.
The American, who had led by two shots at the tournament's midway stage, started her third round with two bogies in the first three holes before rallying with five birdies to maintain a share of the lead on 14 under par.
Lewis' compatriot Paula Creamer was on her own in third place, two shots off the lead, with four players a further three shots behind.
Defending champion Angela Stanford improved slightly, carding a 73 in her third round. However, after 76s in her opening two rounds she was out of contention, 23 shots off the pace ahead of the final day's action.
