Ko, Park share lead in Incheon
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 18 - 10 - 2015

Lydia Ko and Park Sung-hyun rebounded to top the crowded leaderboard Saturday in the LPGA KEB Hana Bank Championship.
In position to take the top spot in the world, the second-ranked Ko overcame a double bogey with two late birdies in a 3-under 69. Park bounced back from a second-round 74 with a 67 to match Ko at 13-under 203 on Sky 72's Ocean Course.
Ko made the double bogey on the par-4 14th, driving left into the water and missing a 4-foot putt. The 18-year-old South Korean-born New Zealander rallied, driving the short par-4 15th to set up a two-putt birdie and making a 10-foot birdie putt on the par-3 17th.
Park birdied three of the last four holes, also driving the 15th, holing a 20-footer on 17 and chipping to 2 feet on the par-5 18th. Making her first career LPGA Tour start, the 22-year-old South Korean player opened with a course-record 62. Park In-bee was tied for 18th at 5-under after a 70.
American Lexi Thompson and South Korea's Mirim Lee each birdied the 18th to pull within a stroke of the lead. Thompson had a 69, and Lee shot 67.
Kuchar on course
American Matt Kuchar will take a two-shot lead into the final round of the Fiji International after an impressive 69 Saturday left him as the only man under par.
The world No. 16 shot an impressive three-under-par third round to sit two clear of Australian Aron Price (69). Left-hander Nick Cullen, also from Australia, was a further four shots back in third on five-over after a 71.
Home favorite and course designer Vijay Singh, the three-times major winner, moved within nine shots of Kuchar after firing his best round of the week on Saturday, a 71 to sit tied sixth.
Hend takes charge
Australian Scott Hend took charge of the Macau Open by carding a masterful seven-under-par 64 in the third round Saturday to set up another final day shoot out with India's Anirban Lahiri.
The 2013 champion struck two eagle threes during his third round in the Chinese gambling enclave on Saturday to move onto 15-under and two clear of defending champion Lahiri, who pipped the Australian to the title last year. — Agencies
