Thitikul, a young player who has been making waves in major tournaments, was leading the Chevron Championship after three rounds. She had shot seven birdies and an eagle in her first 14 holes before play was suspended due to weather. At that point, she was 8 under on her round and 10 under overall, just one shot ahead of Henderson.
Henderson, a two-time major champion, had been playing impressively throughout the tournament. She had carded six birdies and an eagle in her first 14 holes before the suspension of play. When the third round resumed, she continued her strong play with a birdie at the par-3 seventh hole, followed by an eagle at the par-5 eighth and birdies at holes 9 to 11. She then birdied holes 13 and 14 before a bogey on the par-4 16th. Her best round in a major tournament is 64, which she achieved in the first two rounds of the 2022 Evian Championship, a tournament she went on to win.
The final round of the tournament is scheduled to start at 10:20 a.m. ET with threesomes and split tees being used. World No. 1 Nelly Korda, who is vying for her fifth consecutive win, was tied with Henderson at 10 under with seven holes remaining. It will be interesting to see how these three players perform in the final round and who will come out on top.
