NAPLES, Fla. – For the second day in a row, the starter on the first tee at Tiburon Golf Club introduced Lydia Ko as a seven-time tour winner. David Leadbetter went into the starter’s tent after the final group left the tee to set him straight. While it might be hard to believe, the 18-year-old prodigy has 10 career LPGA titles. Ko may be humble, but the World No. 1 has no interest in giving three back.
On Day 3 of the CME Group Tour Championship, Ko cruised to a 3-under 69, putting her two shots back of leaders Cristie Kerr (66) and Ha Na Jang (69).
