Three bogeys in her first six holes stalled Lydia Ko on moving day at the lucrative LPGA Tour Championship, as her winning chances faded on Sunday (NZT).
New Zealand’s world No 5 recovered to post an even-par third round of 72, leaving her seven-under for the tournament and tied for 26th, seven shots off the pace heading into the final round.
