It was a banner day for American Elizabeth Szokol on Thursday at the HSBC Women’s World Championship. The 28-year-old carded a new career-low round, an eight-under 64 at the Tanjong Course at Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore that was highlighted by an eagle on the par-5, 5th and seven birdies.
Just more than two years after she won the 2019 Cognizant Founders Cup, Rolex Rankings number two Jin Young Ko successfully defended that title, routing the field for a wire-to-wire, eighteen-under par performance at the 2021 edition, held at Mountain Ridge Country Club in West Caldwell, N.J.
Day three ended as it began with Jin Young Ko’s name atop the Cognizant Founders Cup leaderboard. Ko continued her absolute mastery of Mountain Ridge Country Club on Saturday, shooting a two-under 69 in the third round and moving to thirteen-under overall, a four-stroke advantage over her nearest competitors.
