"Everything worked really well out there. I hit the ball really good, and I obviously putted really good out there," Park said. "A couple of the bogeys on the front nine toward the end a little disappointed. It was very makeable putts, but I missed a three-footer and a six-footer. We got through about everything else, but I gave myself a lot of opportunities and made a lot of opportunities."

Park was equally complimentary of Kerr, saying she was able to feed off the American's second consecutive round of 66.

"It's always good when you're playing with a partner while she's making a lot of birdies and it makes you want to have more birdies. It already felt like a final round, and trying to make more birdies and trying to get the momentum going, so I think it's really good."

Momentum was something Ko struggled to get going as the 16-year-old Kiwi registered three bogeys against four birdies after starting her round from the 10th hole.

"I didn't have the best start. I got a ruling on the 10th which was my first hole and made bogey on 11. Yeah, it was kind of not the start that I wanted to, but I made two birdies in a row (on both the front and back nines)," said the teenager, the world's top amateur who won two pro tournaments last year.

"Inbee shot an amazing score, six-under, I think, today. So, yeah, she's obviously right now the one to catch. But I've just got to play my own game and hopefully get some more putts rolling in and reduce some bogeys because I had a couple of silly bogeys out there today."

World No. 2 Stacy Lewis withdrew from the tournament late Thursday citing illness. The American won the Ricoh British Women's Open earlier this month, halting Park's bid to win four straight majors.
