2023 KPMG Women's PGA Championship proving to be a tough event on the LPGA Tour

The current leader, Leona Maguire, is being chased by Jenny Shin, who stands just one stroke behind her. Along with Shin, third-place sitter Stephanie Meadow is also hoping for a good result after recent struggles to keep their LPGA Tour cards.

Going into the final round of the Women's PGA Championship, the tee times have been moved up by the PGA of America after weather concerns.

Speaking via Golf Week, Shin spoke about finally getting a win on the Tour in over seven years:

“You know, this is my 13th year out here. I’m sure if you ask any player that’s been out here this long, there’s ups and downs and phases in life, and I think I went through that phase. So now, you know, I want to win more than anything.”
