FROM THE STUFF.CO.NZ WEBSITE
New Zealand's world No.2 and No.3 ranked amateur golfers, Cecilia Cho and Lydia Ko, pictured, lead the field after three rounds at the prestigious Riversdale Cup women's amateur tournament in Melbourne.
The 16-year-old Cho fired a second round eight-under-par 65 to grab the lead on eight-under after 36 holes and then added a solid third-round of par 73 for 211.
She is five shots clear of the 13-year-old Ko, who shot a five-under 68 in Round 2 after an even par opening round. In today's third round, Cho had a 75.
The leading Australian is Lee Park in fourth place on 218, a shot behind South Korea's Su-Hyun Oh.
