Leona Maguire carded her best round of the tournament but still remains 11 shots adrift of the lead following the third round of the HSBC Women's World Championship in Singapore.
Halfway leader A Lim Kim carded a disappointing 73 to fall into a tie for fourth, allowing New Zealand's Lydia Ko to move to top spot on 10-under par.
Ko carded four birdies in her final seven holes and sits a shot ahead of England’s Charley Hull, who is on nine-under.
Jeeno Thitikul raced into contention with a brilliant 66 containing seven birdies in all and she will start her final round three shots off the lead.
Maguire has a realistic chance of a top-20 finish after a fine third round left her on one-over par.
The Cavan golfer, teeing off at the 10th hole, had started on four-over, but three birdies in her first four holes saw her move up the leaderboard.

Bogeys at the first and third slowed her momentum, but she got those back with birdies at the fifth and the eighth.
