Nelly Korda has kept her lead in the third round of the Tournament of Champions.

Nelly Korda carded a three-under 69 in challenging conditions to maintain a one-shot lead going into the final round of the LPGA Tour's Tournament of Champions.

Fighting through cold temperatures paired with wind and rain at the Lake Nona Golf and Country Club, the world No 1 mixed four birdies with a lone bogey to move to 13 under and bolster her hopes of a winning start to 2022.

Danielle Kang and Mexico's Gaby Lopez are both just a shot off the pace in tied-second, with Brooke Henderson within two of the lead after back-to-back 68s and US Women's Open champion Yuka Saso three back on 10 under.

"I think I played pretty solid," Korda said. "You know, I could have made some more putts, but in all, I'm really happy with how my round went. The conditions were tough. It was cold, rainy, and got a little windy, so in all, I'm very happy."

Boutier of France is four shots back of the lead after shooting a third-round 70. On her heels are South Korea's Inbee Park (70) and Korda's sister, Jessica Korda (72), who are tied-seventh on eight under.
