Shin carded a 1-under 71 after two birdies and a bogey just after the turn.

She’s chasing her second LPGA Tour win and first since the Texas Shootout more than 10 years ago. Leading since the first round, Shin admitted she felt early nerves on Saturday.

“There were a few times today where I was looking down at the ball but I couldn’t see the ball,” she said. “So hopefully I can just focus on the things that I focused on, every single shot this week, not get ahead of myself.

“It’s really hard, though. I can’t stop thinking about it. Every shot, I’m like, ‘Oh, my God.’ So I’m going to try my best to stay present.”
