South Korea's Ko, who was tied eighth before
the third round, got off to a strong start as she birdied four
of her first five holes.
She managed another four against a lone bogey and moved to a
14-under par total of 202 after another weather-delayed day in
Singapore.
American Korda's consistency continued as she carded a third
straight four-under 68 to remain in contention after finishing
one shot ahead of compatriots Allisen Corpuz and Elizabeth
Szokol, who were tied for third place with a two-under 70.
Szokol, the leader after Thursday's first round, had another
inconsistent day after mixing five birdies with three bogeys,
while Corpuz drained six birdies but suffered a setback on the
fifth with a double-bogey.
Overnight leader Danielle Kang slipped to fifth with a 72 while
top-ranked Lydia Ko (70) of New Zealand was tied for 13th with
Japan's Yuka Saso (72) after a round of two-under 70 to be
seven-under for the tournament.
