Green carded a two-under-par 69 to be tied for second entering the final round of the JM Eagle LA Championship in California.
Chasing her first US victory since winning the Portland Classic in September 2019, Green is seven under for the tournament, two shots behind American leader Cheyenne Knight.
Knight had two birdies and an eagle in her third-round 67 on Saturday to pull clear of Green and South Korea's Hae Ran Ryu (67).
Scotland's Gemma Dryburgh posted a 66 to be six under and outright fourth.
Green's fellow Australian Sarah Kemp (71) is sharing seventh at four under.
Steph Kyriacou posted a 69 to move back into red numbers at one under.
But Minjee Lee dropped back to level with par following a one-over 72.
