Lydia Ko's produced a blemish-free third round at the women's British golf Open at Royal Lytham and Saint Annes.

The Kiwi's carded a two-under 70 round to be seven-under overall, and in a four-way tie for ninth, six shots off the pace.

Ko said she felt like she was hitting the ball well, was good with the putter in hand, and will take a bogey-free round at a major.
