There’s a Ko atop the leaderboard in the LPGA event in South Korea, but it isn’t Lydia.
Jin Young Ko shot a 6-under-par 66 Saturday to take the lead at the KEB Hana Bank Championship at the Sky 72 Ocean Course in Incheon.
At 15-under overall, Ko is two shots ahead of a pair of formidable fellow South Koreans. Two-time major champion In Gee Chun (68) and reigning U.S. Women’s Open champ Sung Hyun Park (68) are tied for second.
Ko is one of 12 Korean LPGA Tour members exempt into this week’s event.
