Ko, Jang Share Third-Round Lead at Coates Championship

(Reuters) - World number one Lydia Ko shrugged off a late rules scare to earn a share of the third-round lead with Jang Ha-na at the Coates Golf Championship in central Florida on Friday.

On a day when nobody completed the third round due to a thunderstorm on Thursday that put the event behind schedule, Ko and Jang both completed six holes on the Golden Ocala course.

They were seven-under par when play was halted in semi-darkness on an unusually cold day that prompted many players to wear several layers of clothing for protection from the biting northerly wind.
