Park leads, Ko right behind after three rounds

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Inbee Park kept her composure in strong wind Friday and made two late birdies to regain the lead, posting a 1-under 70 for a two-shot lead going into the final round of the women's golf at Olympic Golf Course.

Just as difficult as the 30 mph gusts was seeing the name of Lydia Ko right behind her.

Ko, the No. 1 player in women's golf, made the first hole-in-one of her career as she raced into contention. The 19-year-old Kiwi made all pars on the back nine when the wind arrived and shot 65.
