Defending champion Inbee Park recorded a seven-under round of 66 to take a two-shot lead into the final round of the Women's PGA Championship.

Park and fellow South Korean Sei Young Kim, the overnight leader, were tied at 13 under going to the last hole.

But Park - chasing a third straight win in the event - made a birdie while Kim missed a four-foot putt for par.

England's Charley Hull is tied for 22nd on one under at the Westchester Country Club in New York.

Scotland's Catriona Matthew is on the same score, while two-time winner Laura Davies of England is one over.

Another former champion, Karrie Webb of Australia, is on eight under alongside 2007 winner Suzann Pettersen of Norway.

The Women's PGA Championship is the second of the LPGA Tour's five majors.
