Ocala, Fla. – Lydia Ko hugged it out with her playing competitors on the 18th green and said: “See you soon!” The turnaround for the lead group here at the Coates Golf Championship was 51 minutes between the third and fourth rounds. Weather delays made it impossible for officials to repair for Saturday’s finale. Leaders Lydia Ko and Ha Na Jang, tied at 11-under 205, are in the final group at 11:52 a.m. alongside Haru Nomura (5 under).
Brooke Henderson eagled the 18th hole to jump to 9 under, two strokes back. The Canadian powerhouse hit 7-wood from 216 yards downwind on the closing par 5.
