Play resumed at The Chevron Championship on Sunday morning at 7:01 a.m. CT, with players returning to where they marked their balls on Saturday before dangerous weather conditions rolled in. When the third round completed on Sunday morning, LPGA Tour winner and 2023 Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year Haeran Ryu stood alone at the top of the leaderboard, with LPGA Tour superstars Brooke Henderson and Nelly Korda just one stroke behind.

Ryu posted her second consecutive bogey-free round with her third-round 67, and set The Chevron Championship’s 54-hole scoring record at The Club at Carlton Woods with her three-day 205. She made two birdies on her front nine on Saturday, including both par 5s (Nos. 4 and 8), and then made back-to-back birdies on 13 and 14 when she continued her round Sunday morning. She added another on the par-5 18th to take a one-shot lead heading into the final round.

“So exciting because today in the morning I play -- yesterday I not finish the third round, and then today in the morning I start again this third round and then Sunday,” said Ryu, who would be the 22nd different player to win The Chevron as her first major title. “I think it's so cold and windy. It's so tough for me. Every player it's tough in the morning, but always mindset just to keep think about my swing and always focus for easier second round, and can make a lot of birdies in the morning.”

Before dangerous conditions suspended the third round at The Chevron Championship yesterday, Canadian superstar Brooke Henderson was making the most of moving day with an 8-under round heading into her final hole. Starting on Saturday at T21 after two rounds of 71, Henderson made seven birdies and an eagle in a nine-hole stretch, including five straight holes under par from Nos. 7-11. She was -9 on the day and tied for the lead with Atthaya Thitikul and Korda when she made bogey on 16. Henderson returned to the 18th tee on Sunday morning, making a par to turn in an eight-under 64 round.

Henderson’s round of 64 marks the 10th score of 64 or better in the history of The Chevron Championship, and the lowest 18-hole score at The Chevron Championship since it moved to The Club at Carlton Woods in 2023.

“That's really cool. This championship has a lot of history, and so it's really cool to -- anytime you can be a part of that history is pretty neat,” said Henderson on her record-breaking round. “I'm excited about my round yesterday. It was a lot of fun. A lot of momentum, a lot of confidence. Hopefully I can just carry it forward.

Twelve-time LPGA Tour winner and major champion Korda looks to make history with a win at The Chevron Championship this year. Starting on No. 11 on Sunday, Korda made par on her remaining holes from the third round and will play in the last group alongside Henderson and Ryu. With a win, Korda could tie the record for most wins in consecutive scheduled events (4) and most wins in official starts (5).

The final round began at 9:35 a.m. CT and the final group will tee off at 11:36 a.m. CT.
