Before the third round was suspended due to high winds, world number two Nelly Korda shot an eight-under-par 64 to vault into the lead at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions on Saturday in Orlando.

Korda, who is seeking her first LPGA Tour victory since November 2024, sat in a tie for eighth through two rounds but is now at 13-under 203 and is the clubhouse leader pending those in contention finishing 54 holes.

With the 17th hole unplayable due to high winds, LPGA officials suspended the third round at 4:18pm local time. The LPGA announced Saturday evening that the third round will resume and the final round will begin concurrently at 10am Sunday.

A native of Florida, Korda occasionally wore earmuffs and gloves Saturday, but the weather didn’t affect her performance, especially early in the round.

“I started off great,” Korda said. “Birdied the first two holes and then made an eagle from the fairway on number three, so I can’t complain ever starting my round like that.”
