Haeran Ryu Takes One‑Shot Lead at 2026 Women’s PGA Championship

South Korea’s Haeran Ryu shot a 4‑under 68 in the third round of the 2026 Women’s PGA Championship at Hazeltine National Golf Club, moving one stroke ahead of Canada’s Brooke Henderson. Ryu’s round featured an eagle on the 7th and only a single bogey, giving her an 11‑under total.

Earlier in the tournament, fellow South Korean Ina Yoon held a five‑stroke lead after a record‑tying 63 in round 1, but a 75 in round 3 dropped her to third place, two shots behind Ryu. World No. 1 Nelly Korda sits four shots back at 7‑under, while other contenders include Australians Karis Davidson (tied for eighth) and Dutch‑American Dewi Weber (three shots back).

The championship, the richest event in women’s golf with a $13 million purse, experienced a weather delay that pushed final‑round tee times to a 11:54 a.m. ET start. The revised schedule lists Ryu, Henderson, Yoon, Korda and the rest of the field in paired tee times for Sunday’s finale.
