Lottie Woad fell eight shots behind the lead at the Tournament of Champions as cold and blustery conditions in Orlando led to play being suspended on Saturday.

England’s Woad, 22, who shared the lead with three-time major winner Lydia Ko after her she carded 69 on day two on Friday, was three shots over for her third round through 16 holes as conditions worsened at the season-opening LPGA tournament at Lake Nona.

Olympic champion Ko, of New Zealand, also failed to complete her round and is five shots behind new leader Nelly Korda.

However, Yang, her compatriot You-Min Hwang, who is level with Ko on eight under, and Japan’s Nasa Hataoka on five under were among the frontrunners who were halted by the high winds.
