Amy Yang and Stacy Lewis will be paired together in the final round of the U.S. Women's Open at Lancaster Country Club.

Yang currently tops the leaderboard at 8-under par after shooting a 1-under 69 on Moving Day. Last year, at Pinehurst Resort, she shared the co-lead with Michelle Wie heading into the final round, but finished fourth.

2014 runner-up Stacy Lewis also shot 69 on Saturday. She sits at 5-under for the tournament, three strokes back of Yang. Lewis has a knack for final-round surges, as evidenced in last year's U.S. Open - she shot the low score of 4-under 66 in North Carolina to finish the tournament even, good for second place and a significant portion of the purse.

She may only be tied for fifth heading into the final day of the Major, but Chella Choi had an unforgettable round nonetheless. Coming into Saturday 3-over par, the South Korean went 6-under 29 on the front nine, then dropped three bogeys and three birdies on the back nine. She had an opportunity to match the single-round scoring record at Lancaster Country Club, but a bogey on the final hole negated that. She's still in contention, however, 6 strokes back of Amy Yang at 2-under par heading into the final round.
