Jin Young Ko dominates the HSBC Women's World Championship
After the first three rounds of the HSBC Women's World Championship, it is the Korean and former world number 1 Jin Young Ko who takes the lead of the tournament. With her total of -14, she is two strokes ahead of Nelly Korda at -12. Céline Boutier, fourth last week in Thailand, is sixth at the dawn of the last lap with a total of -9.
After three rounds of the HSBC Women's World Championship, Korean defending champion Jin Young Ko takes control of the tournament with a total score of -14. The former world number 1 had started her event with a simple score of 72 (PAR), before chaining the birdies and signing two consecutive cards of 65 (-7).
Winner last year, Jin Young Ko has the cards in hand to sign the double: the Korean has not won since her coronation last year in Singapore.
Defending champ, back on top once again 💪
