New Zealand amateur Lydia Ko moved within sight of a historic second US LPGA win at the age of just 15 when she shot 70 to share the Women's Australian Open third round lead with Shin Ji-Yai on Saturday.
Ko, who became the tour’s youngest winner at last year’s Canadian Women’s Open, and Shin, South Korea’s world number eight, opened up a commanding six-shot lead with matching three-under-par rounds at Royal Canberra Golf Club.
Coincidentally, the two were also paired in the last round of the Canadian tournament in August, when Korean-born Ko smashed US star Lexi Thompson's record by winning at the age of just 15 years, four months and two days.
