Suwannapura was one of several players to make a strong move on Moving Day. Rose Zhang, who won her first LPGA Tour title earlier this year, shot a 68 to move to 11-under par and tied for second place. Celine Boutier, who is looking for her fourth LPGA Tour title, also shot a 68 to move to 10-under par and tied for third place.

Rose Zhang and Atthaya Thitikul are the co-favorites to win the 2023 Maybank Championship heading into Round 4. Both players are in good form and have a chance to win their first LPGA Tour title this week.
Jasmine Suwannapura and Hannah Green are also in the mix, and they should not be ruled out. Celine Boutier is always a threat on Sundays, and she could make a late charge to win.
Emily Pedersen, Minjee Lee, Brooke Henderson, Lexi Thompson, Pajaree Anannarukarn, and Patty Tavatanakit are all outside shots to win, but they all have the talent to do so.
It should be a thrilling Round 4 at the 2023 Maybank Championship!
