Saturday’s Round 3 saw Ko start with bogeys on hole 10, and 12. She birdied hole 13, but a double bogey on hole 15 left her well off the pace. She managed an even par score on the front nine to end moving day with a total score of +4.

Lydia Ko dealt with a neck spasm before the Chevron Championship

Lydia Ko entered the 2025 Chevron Championship dealing with a neck spasm that affected her right arm. The issue started before the tournament, and Ko received treatment leading up to the event. Although the pain improved, she mentioned that her arm still didn’t feel completely normal.

Ko has dealt with similar issues in the past, recalling an incident during a previous LET event when her arm became numb.

"It was playable, but I could feel it at the top of my backswing and my finish. My coach was like 'Oh, you kind of finish like Mr. Palmer.' I was like well that’s good news, of all the people, I would love to be like Mr. Palmer," Lydia Ko told Golfweek.

Despite the discomfort, she chose to compete, being careful not to make any adjustments to her swing.

Ko entered the Chevron Championship with a strong start to the 2025 season. She secured a win at the HSBC Women's World Championship and followed it up with solid performances at other events, including a sixth-place finish at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament, a T48 at the Founders Cup, a T6 at the Ford Championship, and a T35 at the T-Mobile Match Play.
