Vancouver (AFP) - Lydia Ko made it look easy again at the Vancouver Golf Club making birdie on three of her final four holes to shoot a 67 and put herself in contention at the Canadian Women's Open.

The 18-year-old world number two seized the early clubhouse lead and finished on Thursday just two strokes back of first-round leader Karine Icher, of France, who shot a seven-under 65 in the afternoon.
