WOBURN, England – Jin Young Ko put herself in early position to join some legends of the game.
With a 4-under 68 Thursday at the AIG Women’s British Open, Ko moved just three shots off the lead.
With a victory this week she would join Babe Zaharias, Ben Hogan, Mickey Wright, Pat Bradley, Tiger Woods and Inbee Park as the only players to win three professional majors in a year. More than that, she would join Betsy Rawls as the only players to win back-to-back majors in back-to-back weeks.
She appears to still be riding momentum from her victory last week at the Evian Championship.
