LANCASTER, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - Chella Choi of South Korea carded six birdies in a blistering, U.S. Women's Open record-setting 29 on the front nine as she posted a six-under-par 64 in the third round at Lancaster Country Club.

Choi, who began the sunny day tied for 54th after advancing to weekend play on the cut line of four over par, vaulted up to two-under-par 208, tied for fourth behind fellow Korean leader Amy Yang, who was just beginning her round at seven under par.
