SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France — Lydia Ko of New Zealand and Morgane Metraux of Switzerland are tied for the lead going into the final round of the Olympic women's golf competition. And if it's anything like the last five golf competitions, the last day could be dynamic. Ko had a 68 as she tries to complete her Olympic medal collection with gold. It also would send her into the LPGA Hall of Fame. Rose Zhang made two eagles over the last five holes for a 67 and was two shots behind, along with Miyu Yamashita of Japan. Still in the mix was defending gold medalist Nelly Korda.
