It's called 'Moving Day' for a reason, and that's especially true at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.

In each of the last 35 KPMG Women's PGA Championships, the eventual winner was either leading or within four shots of the lead at the end of the third round of play.

The last player to overcome a 54-hole deficit of at least 5 strokes at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship was Beth Daniel in 1990. That year, Daniel trailed 54-hole leader Rosie Jones by 5 shots — but shot a masterful 66 (-5) in the final round to edge out Jones by one stroke in Bethesda, Maryland. It was the only Major Championship of her career.

The largest 54-hole deficit ever overcome to win the KPMG Women's PGA Championship is 7 shots — by Patty Sheehan in 1983 at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Center at Kings Island. That year, Sheehan shot a final round 66 (-6) to win by two shots over Round 3 leader Sandra Haynie (who shot 75 in the final round).

It was the first of six Major Championships for Sheehan, including 3 KPMG Women's PGA Championships (1983, 1984, 1993).
