With Ko out, Lewis, Park battling for world No. 1

HARRISON, N.Y. – It’s like old times for Inbee Park and Stacy Lewis.

It’s like a weekend before Lydia Ko emerged and took the Rolex No. 1 world ranking away from them.

Before Ko’s ascension, Park and Lewis took turns holding the top ranking, and they’re in position this weekend to battle for it again at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. The top spot’s up for grabs with Ko missing the cut.

With a 5-under-par 68 Friday at Westchester Country Club, Park moved into a tie for second, one shot off the lead.
