Charley Hull and Nelly Korda are set for a Sunday showdown at The ANNIKA with the Englishwoman leading the world No 1 by a single stroke ahead of the final round.
Hull held a two-shot advantage over America's Korda - the player she thumped 6&4 in September's Solheim Cup singles - through 36 holes in Belleair after both carded four-under second rounds. That advantage was cut in half on Saturday as Korda recovered from two bogeys across her first four holes to post a three-under 67, registering six birdies across a 10-hole stretch before dropping a shot at the last to slip to 11 under for the tournament.
I couldn't see the break or anything.' Korda added: 'It's kind of hard when you don't really see. I think it was a little bit of poor planning by starting so late for us. 'Whenever you're sitting on 18 and the sun is already down, it's never nice, especially with how slick these greens are.
