The New Zealand golfer Lydia Ko has produced one of the rounds of the day to climb up the leaderboard at the latest LPGA event in Taiwan.

She started the day in a tie for 17th.
Her round included 7 birdies, a bogey and a double bogey.
"It was pretty tough out there with the wind being pretty strong and starting from the first hole," said Ko. "It kind of progressively picked up. I played solid and made a few good putts. A little careless plus little mistakes on 17, but it's always nice to be able to finish with a birdie on the last."
She's six shots behind the leader Eun-Hee Ji of South Korea.
With blustering winds impacting the golfers all day Saturday, Ji managed to play steady. She carded one bogey and five birdies to into first place alone.
Ji is looking to step inside the winner's circle for the first time in 2017; her last win came in 2009 at the U.S. Women's Open.
Ko won this tournament in 2015.
