Lydia Ko remains in touch with the leaders after the third round at the latest LPGA tour event in Seoul.

The Kiwi teenager signed for an even par 72 to be two-under for the tournament and in a tie for 18th, three shots off the lead.

Ko hit consecutive birdies on the fourth and fifth holes, but her good work was undone with a pair of bogies on the back nine.

South Koreans Kyu Jung Baek and Hee-Kyung Bae are tied for the lead at five-under.
