BRADENTON, Fla. — Yealimi Noh birdied eight of the last 11 holes for an 8-under 63 and a one-stroke lead Saturday over three-time champion Jim Young Ko in the Founders Cup. After gusting wind slowed the players on the opening holes at Bradenton Country Club, Noh and Ko each made their first birdie of the day on the par-5 eighth. Noh had an 18-under 195 total. The 23-year-old California player is chasing her first LPGA Tour victory. She opened with a 68 and shot 64 on Friday to get into the final group with Ko. Trying to win the event on a fourth venue, Ko birdied five of the final 11 for a 66.
