Bianca Pagdanganan fired a second straight even-par 72 to trail solo leader Nelly Korda by 13 strokes after three rounds in the Meijer LPGA Classic For Simply Give in Belmont, Michigan Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
The Tokyo Olympian carded four birdies against the same number of bogeys to tally a three-round total of 211 and slip at joint 41st place.
She had a first-round 67.
Pagdanganan stumbled with a bogey in the opening hole but bounced back with a birdie on the third, only to struggle with back-to-back bogeys on the fifth and sixth.
She regained her composure with two straight birdies from the 10th hole, and then bogeyed the 12th before shooting a birdie on the 14th.
Korda, meanwhile, snatched the lead from Jennifer Kupcho after a blistering 66 aided by two eagles on the par-5 eighth and 18th.
She posted three birdies against a lone bogey on the 13th for a three-day aggregate of 198 following earlier rounds of 67 and 65.
Kupcho, for her part, trailed Korda by one stroke after shooting a 69 for 199, while Brooke Henderson was a third with 201 after a third-round 67.
