SYLVANIA, Ohio — With two late birdies, Lydia Ko carded a 3-under 68 and doubled her lead in the Marathon Classic. The former world No. 1 is four shots ahead, eyeing her first LPGA win in two years.
Ko has gone 44 tournaments worldwide since her last victory.
Danielle Kang, who won last week at nearby Inverness Club, had a 70 and was four shots behind. Kang got within two shots of the lead with a birdie on the par-3 14th, but she bogeyed the next and picked up one birdie on the final two holes, both of them par 5s.
