Lydia Ko of New Zealand showcased her golf prowess during the third round of the women's golf competition, securing a share of the lead with Switzerland's Morgane Métraux. Ko, a seasoned Olympian with previous silver and bronze medals, delivered a stellar performance with a four-under-par 68, finishing the day at nine-under overall.
Métraux, who had led the pack after two rounds, faced challenges in maintaining her position due to inconsistencies in her game. Despite recording one eagle and three birdies, she struggled with four bogeys, ultimately carding a one-under 71 for the round.
