Japan's Minami Katsu maintained a two-stroke lead at the LPGA Buick Shanghai with a 4-under-par round of 68 in the third round on Saturday.
One day after setting the course record with a sizzling 61 at the Qizhong Garden Golf Club, Katsu carded six birdies and two bogeys to move to 17-under as she chases her first title on the LPGA Tour.
Katsu will have her work cut out for her on Sunday trying to hold off multiple major winners Minjee Lee of Australia and Jeeno Thitikul, who are tied for second at 15-under.
With a victory, Katsu would become the 12th first-time winner this season, which would tie for the most in LPGA history. She also would become the 27th different winner in 2025, which would set an LPGA Tour records.
