Ko has carded a tournament record-equalling 10-under par 62 at the ANA Inspiration in California.
The two-time major champion holed a remarkable eight birdies and an eagle and shot a record 29 on the front nine.
Ko finished 16-under par for the tournament, after starting the day in a share of seventh place at six-under.
However she finished two shots behind the winner, Thailand's Patty Tavatanakit.
Tavatanakit started the day with a five shot lead and was eight ahead of Ko.
"You know I got off to a really good start, being three under after two is never a bad way to start your round," Ko said.
"I think I got a couple of lucky breaks, but overall my game was really solid and I felt like I gave myself a good run at it, but maybe Patty was just a bit too far away."
It is Lydia Ko's best result at a major since she finished runner-up at the Women's PGA Championship in 2016.
"I felt like my game is trending in the right direction.
"The first couple of days this week and last week was a little messy, making clumsy mistakes here and there but I feel like I was able to bring that together.
"I've really just tried to have fun out there and I think that's such a big key for me. When you're enjoying it everything follows."
