South Korea have taken control of the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic with four players from that nation tied for the lead after the third round. Kim In-Kyung, Ji-Yai Shin, Ryu So-yeon and Seo Hee-kyung are all on 11-under with one round to play at the Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania, Ohio. Kim and Shin both shot five-under 66s on Saturday to move up from a tie for ninth to the top of the leaderboard. Shin did not drop a shot during the third round, while Kim made up for a bogey on the fourth hole with six birdies. Ryu started the third round in a tie for fifth but four birdies on the back nine, including three straight starting on the 15th hole, earned the 22-year-old a four-under 67 and a share of the lead. Seo, who started the third round in a tie for second, was more inconsistent than her three compatriots on Saturday but finished her third round with an eagle and two birdies on the final five holes for a three-under 68. With the final round of the Toledo Classic to come on Sunday, six South Koreans are in the top seven spots on the leaderboard. In-Bee Park and Chella Choi share fifth place with Japan&aposs Mika Miyazato, with the trio one stroke behind the four leaders. Overnight leader Choi fired two bogeys and a double-bogey on the front nine, although four birdies on the back nine saw her recover to 10-under overall and within striking distance of victory. A group of four made up of the USA&aposs Jacqui Concolino and Angela Stanford, Pernilla Lindberg of Sweden and South Korea&aposs Hee-Won Han are next on the leaderboard at eight-under. Lindsey Wright (73) is the best of the Australians at three-under while compatriot Sarah-Jane Smith carded her third consecutive 71 to be three strokes further back. Click for LIVE SCORES
