Ko seven behind as Murifield bites late

Lydia Ko (71-70) faces a tough task from seven shots behind at the women’s British Open at Muirfield in Scotland. The 25-year-old Kiwi carded a one-under 70 yesterday after four birdies and one bogey, but a costly double bogey on the par-four 18th knocked her back. South Korea’s In Gee Chun (68-66) leads at eight-under. Kiwi pros Josh Geary (72-72) and Daniel Hillier (72-72) made the cut by three at the Cazoo Open in Wales.
