Wang, a 26-year-old who helped Duke University win the prestigious NCAA US collegiate team crown in 2019, put herself in striking position for a first LPGA title in Sunday’s final round.
She piled up seven birdies on the way to a 18-under par total of 198 — three clear of 36-hole leader Kim Sei-young of South Korea and American Rose Zhang.
It was another stroke back to world No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand and American Andrea Lee.
