Tseng, who did not tee off until 3.20pm following the morning weather delay, is three shots ahead of Rolex World No.1 Jiyai Shin who fired a third round 4-under par 69.

"It was a very tough day. I feel I can play much better than this. I needed more putts to drop in the hole," Tseng said. "Hopefully tomorrow my putting will be better."

2009 US Open champion Eun Hee Ji is in third place at 10-under par following her third round 3-under par 73.

Australia&aposs Katherine Hull finished with the round of the day – a 6-under par 67 to move into outright fourth and said nothing was impossible on Sunday. "I know it is possible because I reeled in Yani a couple of years ago from six back in the Canadian Open. It is possible but it is going to be hard. She is playing well right now. I&aposll do my best and see what happens," Hull said.

Hull&aposs work on the greens was a key factor in her climb up the leaderboard and said she would need more of the same on Sunday. She said, "I&aposll have to get off to a good start in order to have a real chance. It is possible but it will take a really hot putter to do it."
