Nelly Korda’s hopes of becoming the first player to win six consecutive LPGA Tour titles appear slim after a disappointing third round at the Cognizant Founders Cup.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old American was four shots back after round two at the Upper Montclair County Club, and well positioned to continue her brilliant run of victories.<\/p>\n
But Korda could only manage a one-over-par 73 during her third round in New Jersey.<\/p>\n
While far from an awful score, leader Madelene Sagstrom hit a brilliant 66 to move to 19 under – 11 strokes ahead of Korda.<\/p>\n
Rose Zhang, starting the day as joint leader, dropped a shot back from Sweden’s Sagstrom by carding a 67. <\/p>\n
World number one Korda won her fifth tour title in a row at last month’s Chevron Championship, matching the record held by Nancy Lopez and Annika Sorenstam.<\/p>\n
Korda was aiming to take the record outright in Charlotte but she will need something spectacular in her final round to win a sixth straight tour title. <\/p>\n
The American is tied with Australia’s Gabriela Ruffels and South Korea’s Kim Sei-young, who both shot third round 67s. <\/p>\n
England’s Mel Reid is tied 31st after a three-over 75, while Ireland’s Leona Maguire is tied 22nd after a one-under 71. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
