Sei Young Kim carded a 3-under-par 69 on Saturday to carry a four-stroke lead heading into the final round of the BMW Ladies Championship in Haenam, South Korea.

Kim benefited from an eagle on the 17th hole to highlight an eventful day in which she had five birdies against four bogeys at Pine Beach Golf Links.
The Korean broke the 54-hole tournament scoring record with her three-day total of 19-under 197, and she is on pace to break the 72-hole mark of 266, set by Jin Young Ko and Hee Jeong Lim in 2021 at LPGA International Busan.
Kim is bidding for her 13th LPGA Tour victory of her career and first since 2020.
She is four shots better than Yealimi Noh (67 on Saturday) and Japan's Nasa Hataoka (69).
Kim, however, said she is not trying to get ahead of herself.
