RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug 20 (Reuters) - South Korea's Inbee Park was closing in on the first gold medal in women's golf since 1900 with a commanding five-stroke lead over a crowded field vying for the remaining podium spots on Saturday.
Park has led since the second round and made five birdies and one bogey to stay on course for victory.
The 28-year-old Park reminded everyone this week why she deserved to be the LPGA'S youngest hall of fame qualifier with an exceptional Olympic performance after bouncing back from injuries.
China's Shanshan Feng was five strokes behind Park, trying to protect her silver medal position.
