25-year-old can become a part of history

Khang ended her third day of the game with a lead of 1 stroke and a final score of under 18. She also closed her third day with a birdie putt from 18 feet to record her third straight 6-under 66 in Portland. 

If she wins this again, this would make her a winner of back-to-back events. Last time, in 2016, Ariya Jutanugarn won her first two LPGA championships in back-to-back events. Last player to do it in back-to-back weeks was Emilee Klein in 1996. Justin Ray posted this on his Twitter account.
