The Olympian got off to a steady start carding five birdies in a row to begin her day. As overnight leader Lauren Walsh dropped shots elsewhere, Kouskova soon got things going when she birdied the par-4 6th to move up the leaderboard.
Another birdie followed at the 11th before the Czech star dropped her only shot of the day at the 12th. As the heat picked up in Tenerife, Kouskova finished strong with birdies at the par-3 14th and par-5 17th to take the solo lead.
“It was nice and steady today,” Kouskova said. “Patient I would say. Lots of solid shots and a great save at the 18th. I think yesterday was tough towards the end. I struggled to keep my focus when I was finishing. So it was nice to get it going today. I’m looking forward to some rest!

“I try not to think about it [winning again]. I’m just happy that I’m hitting good shots and we’re making good decisions. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.”
A stacked leaderboard follows heading into the final round; Spain’s Ana Pelaez Trivino, Singapore’s Shannon Tan and Finland’s Noora Komulainen sharing second position on seven-under par.
The former, a one-time Ladies European Tour (LET) winner, carded the round of the day 66 (-6) to soar up the leaderboard. This included the fourth hole-in-one of the week which came at the 7th.
Pelaez Trivino said: “I don’t remember the last ace I had so it was nice to have one. I think that’s at least four now. After that, I just played really good golf today. Simple and easy golf.
“I love when I play at home. And I love being at the top of the leaderboard [at home] for tomorrow. Hopefully we can have a really nice show for the people here. I love playing at home. It’s special and it’s going to be special tomorrow.”

While Komulainen, chasing a maiden LET victory, was helped by a multi-talented local caddie in Tenerife.
The Finnish star explained: “I have a local caddie, Martel. He’s a sports massage therapist as well! So I’m going to have a massage after this. I’m really looking forward to tomorrow.”
Four players sit two shots back from Kouskova on six-under par, a quartet which includes Germany’s Helen Briem, Austria’s Emma Spitz, Italy’s Alessandra Fanali and New Zealand’s Amelia Garvey.
India’s Diksha Dagar sits solo ninth on five-under par. Three players round out the top-10 on four-under par, a group consisting of Order of Merit number one Mimi Rhodes from England, overnight leader Walsh, who carded a disappointing 77 (+5), and Germany’s Patricia Isabel Schmidt.
Elsewhere, Scotland’s Lorna Mcclymont also carded a hole-in-one at the 4th. The ace was the fourth of the week at Abama Golf.
