NORTON, Mass. — Jin Young Ko started the third round six shots behind. She ends the FM Championship with a two-shot lead over Lauren Coughlin. Ko birdied the first two holes and the last two holes on her way to a 67. But she got plenty of help from Haeran Ryu. The 23-year-old Ryu was coming off a 62. She was 16 shots worse the next day. That six-shot lead was gone in six holes and Ryu wound up with a 78. Coughlin is going for her third LPGA win in the last six weeks. It's the last event before the Solheim Cup.
