Script:

The third round of the Portland Classic teed off on Saturday at the Columbia Edgewater Country Club in America.

South Korea's So Yeon Ryu is one of three players tied in fourth. The Canadian Women's Open winner responded to a poor start to finish with a ten-under 70, just one shot off the lead.

Joining Ryu in this position is Xi Yu Lin, whose fantastic approach on the 11th set up one of her four birdies.

I.K. Kim is also fourth, after seeing her three-shot overnight lead wiped out. The 5ft 3in golfer missed this birdie on the 11th to leave her trailing one shot off the pace.

Three players currently share top spot, including South Korea's Mi Jung Hur, who made a long birdie putt on the 13th.

Also at 11-under is Carlota Ciganda. The Spaniard pulled off an excellent approach on the par-five 12th set up her final birdie of the day.

The 24-year-old is joined at the standings' summit by defending champion Suzann Pettersen, after she shot her second straight five-under 67.
