Day three ended as it began with Jin Young Ko’s name atop the Cognizant Founders Cup leaderboard. Ko continued her absolute mastery of Mountain Ridge Country Club on Saturday, shooting a two-under 69 in the third round and moving to thirteen-under overall, a four-stroke advantage over her nearest competitors.
For the second consecutive day, fog wreaked havoc at the 2021 Cognizant Founders Cup. A dense morning blanket caused a 2½-hour delay on Friday, causing play to ultimately be suspended due to darkness with 63 players (all but the first group off No. 10) still to finish their rounds.
