jerry, right, she's playing 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 easteim

so, just the final group to finish up here. at the 18th. while we have a moment, let's just check in with the leaderboard real quickly. chella choi with a 67 has the lead. kang can tie her with a short birdie putt here at 18. jiyai shin round of the day, 64. and brooke henderson lurking just 3 back. in fact, henderson was tied for fourth entering the final round last year. she was two shots back. so henderson in position. and don't forget about lexi thompson, so yeon ryu. and michelle wie, five back, not out of the question. >> no, she's been playing really well. when you're that far back you have a great chance to post a number. >> you can

you? 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

yet, you need to pick up your phones right now. i want you to search nbc washington, like us on facebook. because when you are not seeing us on the air live and we have weather going on like this, more than likely we're live on facebook. in fact, we had one viewer in annapolis on a boat. what's going to happen? i said rain's coming your way, you gotta dock that baby. let's look at the headlines for the remainder of the evening. the severe threat pushed east and started to fade out there. we have drier air moving in this evening, and that is setting up for a really good saturday night and sunday ahead. and tomorrow is looking good. that severe thunderstorm threat, those warnings have expired. waldorf still under a watch, but i think that will be dropping pretty soon. the last of the showers and storms pushed out towards delaware. right at home, we are quiet and dry. just rewinding time so you can see the squall line. we saw winds as

areas seeing that wet weather and lots of lightning, but right now, we're dry and quiet. current temperatures, you know when the rain comes down, it cools everything off. but the sun made a really strong comeback. temperatures rebounded from the 70s back into the low 80s in the district, the 90s in leesburg, front royal, manassas. so we have an opportunity to hop back in the pool here before it's all said and done for your saturday. still fire the grills up as we've seen the last of the showers and storms move through during the 5:00 hour. here's a look at the next couple of hours. 9:00 p.m., you can see we're staying dry. future cast has us quiet through the night. humidity dropping. monday, we have a slight chance for an isolated shower popping up in the evening, but overall, we're looking good. for your beach forecast, you are looking good for sunday, monday, maybe a shower a

him to a five-year deal. he's spent his entire nine years in the nhl as a member of the capitals. his reason for leaving? he was tired of losing in the second round of the playoffs. he thinks montreal is a better place to be a champion than washington, d.c. csn got an exclusive interewvi with alzner as he said goodbye to his former team. >> it's definitely bittersweet. it's nice to see all the love from the trainers and stuff. so it's going to be a little bit strange. but at the same time, i'm excited to get a new opportunity. this is a team that as a franchise in the league, it's hockey. i don't think it gets much better than that. competitive and management that's willing -- and ownership that's willing to do anything to win. that's the dream for a player that hasn't won a cup yet. so i'm excited about that. >> it gets worse for the caps. a guy that was

pedigree is also leaving. justin williams is headed back to the carolina hurricanes, the same team he won his first stanley cup with in 2006. williams has won three titles in his career, two more in los angeles. his playoff experience will be missed. caps also lost another player in his prime. 28-year-old kevin shattenkirk is headed to new york to play for the rangers. he came to washington as a trade deadline rental after seven seasons in slus. his price tag, four years, $26.5 million, just a little too far out for the caps' price range after bringing back articlove a oshie. reports have surfaced that otto porter will take meetings with nba teams this week. representatives from the sacramento kings and brooklyn nets, amongst others, are scheduled to start making trips to the nation's capitals to woo otto. contract offers are expected to reach above the $100 million
