There’s plenty of firepower close behind, too, ready to make a charge at the lead. Nelly Korda (69) and Lizette Salas (68) sit T3 at 5 under par, four shots off the lead.

Quote of the day: This actually came courtesy of a player who didn’t even make the cut at the Women’s PGA. Michelle Wie opened up on Twitter after a rough 84-82 missed cut, calling the tournament “2 of the toughest rounds I’ve ever played emotionally and physically” but emphasizing just how grateful she was for the support she’d received. You can see the tweets below.
“Over the last two days, my phone and my inbox has been overflowing with messages of support and love,” she wrote.
Over the last two days, my phone and my inbox has been overflowing with messages of support and love. And even though I was having trouble playing, the crowds were cheering me on, applauding the good shots, and yelling phrases of encouragement when I was struggling.

Shot of the day: That would belong to Yu Liu, well down the leaderboard. She was 6-over when she played the par-4 16th, but got one shot back the hard way, slam-dunking this wedge shot from the first cut of rough. Yowza!
? SLAM. DUNK. ?
We’ll be watching this Yu Liu shot on repeat! ?#SCtop10@KPMGWomensPGA | @nbc pic.twitter.com/f6qCFAvTNp
