The biggest climb of the day at the 2024 KPMG Women's PGA Championship was signed by Lilia Vu. The double major champion played the best third round (68), with six birdies and two bogeys. This allowed her to move up from 28th to 5th place and three strokes behind the leader.

Vu arrives after winning the Meijier LPGA Classic, after almost three months without competing due to a back injury. The 2023 LPGA Tour Player of the Year seeks her third career major title.
