Golf: Lydia Ko solid, but loses touch with leaders at ANA Inspiration 4 Apr, 2021 04:15 AM 2 minutes to read NZ Herald A consistent third round at the ANA Inspiration hasn't been enough to see Lydia Ko keep pace with the leaders, as she sits in a tie for seventh with one round left to play. Ko carded a one-under-par 71 in her penultimate round today, with two birdies and a bogey breaking up her 15 pars. Heading into the day four shots behind leader Patty Tavatanakit, Ko would have wanted to produce something similar to her second-round 69 to move further into contention. But while Ko performed consistently throughout her round, she ended the day eight shots behind Tavatanakit, who hit a five-under-par 67 to hold a five-shot lead over nearest rivals Ally Ewing and defending champion Mirim Lee.
