TURNBERRY, Scotland — There's a Ko atop the leaderboard after three rounds of the Women's British Open.
Just not the one many were expecting.
Jin-Young Ko, a 20-year-old South Korean with no links experience and playing in her first major championship, shot a 3-under 69 on Saturday to share the lead with Taiwan's Teresa Lu heading into the final round at Turnberry. They have an 8-under total of 208.
Ko's story is all the more remarkable considering she met her temporary caddie for the week — a locally born, 27-year-old digital advertiser called Jeff Brighton — for the first time on Tuesday.
