Rookie Mika Miyazato of Japan and Soo-Yun Kang of South Korea share the lead after three rounds at the LPGA Corning Classic.

Miyazato shot a 10-under 62 and Kang had a 65 Saturday. Their score of 17-under 199 ties the tournament record for low 54-hole total.

They were one stroke ahead of South Korea's Yani Tseng, who shot a 62. Tseng was 8 under on the front nine to set a course record and match an LPGA record for nine holes.

Kang made it to 18 under with an eagle at No. 14. But she made two bogeys on two of the next three holes before rallying with a birdie at No. 18.

Minea Blomqvist of Finland shot a 66 and was alone at 15 under.
