Ireland’s Leona Maguire carded a superb nine under par 63 to take a share of the lead into the final round of the LPGA Tour Championship in Florida.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Maguire, 27, had nine birdies in her bogey-free round to catch Lydia Ko, who started the day with a five-shot lead.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The leading pair will go head-to-head on Sunday with a tour-record $2m top prize at stake.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It was nice to get a really low round under my belt, I’ll try to go out and do the same tomorrow,” said Maguire.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maguire and Ko hold a five-shot advantage over Scotland’s Gemma Dryburgh and South Korea’s Jeongeun Lee6, who are tied for third on 10 under.<\/span><\/p>\n

While New Zealand’s Ko looked shaky during her round of 70, Maguire produced a scintillating charge to vault up the leaderboard, shooting four under on her front nine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maguire had a run of four straight birdies either side of the turn and while she found a greenside bunker at the 17th, an up-and-down from the sand produced her ninth birdie.<\/span><\/p>\n

The weather forecast for Sunday suggests the winds could get blustery with some rain also forecast, but Maguire appears to be relishing the prospect of some familiar conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We’ll have to wait to see how bad it gets,” she said. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Maybe a little rain, a little wind. Nothing I’m not used to from Ireland.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Canada’s Brooke Henderson also shot up the leaderboard following a seven-under round of 65 that included two eagles.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
