After 54 holes, two-time winner Jiyai Shin has the lead after storming to the front with a 4-under 67.
Shin has won two major championships in her career and they both came in this event in 2008 and 2012.
She will begin the final round on 7-under, one clear of the defending champion Lilia Vu.
World number one Nelly Korda is also in contention two strokes adrift.
Olympic champion Lydia Ko is also inside the top-5 with a chance of glory.
Korda told reporters: "I think Sunday is going to be a tough day. I think the winds are going to be high. There could be rain as well.
"I'm going to keep a positive attitude and take it one shot at a time.
As for Hull, she was the runner-up in the AIG Women's Open and the Women's U.S. Open last year.
The 28-year-old Kettering native signed for a third round of 75.
She started the third round brightly, but a double bogey at the 5th alongside more dropped shots on the 11th, 16th and 17th saw her slide down the leaderboard.
