WEST PALM BEACH, Florida : Suzann Pettersen topped the leaderboard heading into the final round of the season-ending USLPGA's ADT Championship.
"I still think the best golf for me this week is ahead of me," Pettersen said.
Pettersen led the way as eight players qualified for Sunday's final round of the event that features a first prize of one million dollars. Scores will be reset and Sunday will be a mad dash for the big prize.
Pettersen fired a four-under-par 68 despite a triple-bogey on the par-four fourth hole.
"I've been playing very good for the last couple of weeks," Pettersen said. "My game of golf is weird, sometimes you might play great, you don't score, and the score is matching my field which is very nice."
She carded seven of her eight birdies after the miscue at the fourth and wrapped up a spot in Sunday's final round with four straight birdies starting at No. 13.
Looking for her first win of the season, Pettersen had just two birdies in her first two rounds combined at Trump International Golf Club.
Angela Stanford shot 69 while Paula Creamer and Seon Hwa Lee each fired a 70 to move on. Ji-Yai Shin and Jeong Jang advanced with rounds of 71.
A three-way playoff decided the final two spots with Karrie Webb and Eun-Hee Jee earning a spot in Sunday's final Sun Young Yoo three-putted the par-three 17th.
Creamer can win the money list title with a win Sunday becoming the first US-born player to do so since Betsy King in 1993.
"I've been playing well. I have been hitting it well, I've been putting well," Creamer said. "It's just tomorrow, you know, I'm going to kind of go out and have 18 holes and see what happens. You know, the money list is what it is."
The field was trimmed to 16 players after Friday's second round.
Helen Alfredsson, Angela Park, Jee Young Lee, Karen Stupples, Katherine Hull, Christina Kim and In-Kyung Kim also failed to advance to Sunday's final round.
