directly up into the hill. the greens slope so severely from player's right to left. >> it does. landing it on the green, keeping it short of the flagstick is a big tall ask. and this, too, is a very similar shot that sei young had with the ball well back below her feet. >> this week marks the 23rd major for danielle kang. even more so, her 130th career event in trying to break through.

>> good technique there, really staid down so low. kept the angle nice. >> maintained the flex in the knees. >> yep. >> and when the ball is below your feet like that that is absolutely critical to maintaining, as you say, the spine angle to allow it to move through the sand properly. well done. >> when you've been so accurate like kang has been all week, you haven't really found a lot of these numerous bunkers here at olympia fields. in fact, that was the first sand save situation this week, all week long. hard to believe for danielle kang. and as we approach the top of the hour, coming up next on golf channel, you'll be able to be updated on the conclusion of this kpmg women's pga championship third round. tomorrow, we're got the final round coverage coming your way on nbc at 3:00 eastern time.

you have nothing to lose, oftentimes can produce a low score. >> this would be a nice birdie for kim, after where she's been on this hole. >> you see here playing the break. and she did. most of the players we've seen cut in there, karen, were missing left. >> so sei young kim was tied with kang to begin the day at 7 under. going to put the finishing touches at plus 1 round of 72 after the 66 yesterday that put her in a tie for the top. but now to tie chella choi for the lead, danielle kang. >> not the easiest short putt either as gary mentioned. the whole green slopes from back right to front left so this is significantly downhill and again downbreeze. this is a true test of nerves right here. and if you miss a putt, there's very, very few things you can blame it on around here because these greens are immaculate.

>> jerry, got to have a little bit of movement right to left? >> i would think so. but watching how sei young kim's ball kept running on, it might be a little plateau from doing that. but you've got to hit it so slow. gravity has a long time to take effect, even on a short putt. >> all right. so the third round is in the books with danielle kang a share of the second round lead has a share of the third round lead trying to written for the first time. tied with chella choi. we'll see you again tomorrow when our
