Ko’s last-hole eagle gives title chase wings

Kiwi ace Lydia Ko, pictured, bagged an eagle at the final hole after a friendly kiss off a playing partner’s ball deflected her excellent wedge approach shot in, at the HBSC Women’s World Championship in Singapore yesterday. The two meant Ko (69-68-69) finished the third round in a tie for fifth and four shots back of new leader Lin Xiyu, of China, despite some wayward drives.
