TURNBERRY, Scotland – The wind and rain off the Firth of Clyde are blowing in some wild stories this week at the Ricoh Women’s British Open.
There’s a Ko atop the leaderboard at Trump Turnberry going into Sunday’s final round, but it isn’t New Zealand’s Lydia Ko.
It’s South Korea’s Jin-Young Ko.
“People think we’re related,” Jin-Young said. “I get asked a lot of if we’re related.”
They aren’t, but they know each other. They met at the HanaBank Championship last fall, the only LPGA event Jin-Young has ever played. They share more than a last name.
