THREE WAY TIE AT VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA CLASSIC

The Volunteers of America Classic is set for thrilling climax in Texas with a three-way tie between Inbee Park, Ryu So-yeon and Yealimi Noh.


South Korea's Inbee Park and Ryu So-yeon are in a three-way share of the lead with American teenager Yealimi Noh at the top of the leaderboard, on -4, as they head into the final round of the Volunteers of America Classic.

Ryu, a two-time major champion, shot a six-under-par round to move level with 19-year-old Noh, a joint overnight leader, and world number five Park, who has five majors under her belt and is chasing her 20th career LPGA title.

England's Charley Hull is just one shot behind the leaders after 54 holes as she looks to emulate her compatriots Georgia Hall and Mel Reid in winning on the LPGA Tour this season.

Hull made light of the conditions, after a two-hour delay for frost, carding a three-under-par 68, which lifted her to within one shot of the lead and a share of fourth on -3 with world number one, South Korean Jin Young Ko, and American duo Jessica Korda and Angela Stanford.

Ireland's Leona Maguire shot her best round of the week, a one-under-par 70 to move to +3 and in a tie for 30th.

English duo Mel Reid and Jodie Euart Shadoff both shot a level par third round of 71 to tie for 44th with a group of ten on +5, while Northern Ireland's Stephanie Meadow shot a three-over 74 to tie for 68th on +9.

The event is the final LPGA tournament before next week's US Women's Open in Houston.
