THE COLONY, Texas -- Jin Young Ko chipped in for eagle on the par-4 15th and finished a bogey-free 32-hole Saturday in near darkness with a one-stroke lead in the Volunteers of America Classic.
Ko returned to overcast and breezy Old American early Saturday, playing the final 14 holes for a 1-under 70 in the suspended second round. After a rest break at her nearby home in Frisco, the 25-year-old South Korean star shot 66 in the third round. She got up-and-down for par on the par-4 18th, chipping close after hitting over the green.
Germany's Esther Henseleit and Finland's Matilda Castren were tied for second.
