Lydia Ko makes 10 birdies, ties course record and leads by 4 in Saudi Arabia

Lydia Ko tied a course record and will enter the final round of the Aramco Saudi Ladies International with a four-shot lead.

Ko had 10 birdies and one bogey in shooting 63 at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club. She stands at 16 under par, four shots clear of Thailand’s Atthaya Thitikul, who shot 65 in Round 3.

“I played really solid today,” Ko told reporters after her round. “I missed a short putt for par on 3 and then went on a stretch of birdies. I gave myself a lot of good looks for birdie opportunities and I was rolling it well, so it was a good combination of everything, where I wasn’t making many mistakes.
