Turnberry (United Kingdom) (AFP) - Ko Jin-Young had never been to Scotland and this is her first Women's British Open, but the four-time winner on the Korean LPGA Tour battled wind and rain to lead the field after the third round of her first major.

The 20-year-old shot a 69 in the horrendous conditions at Turnberry for an eight-under-par 208 total and she shared the lead with Taiwan's Teresa Lu, who also shot 69.
