Lydia Ko is riding some good mojo into weekend contention as she bids to win her second LPGA title this year.Theres something about the Swinging Skirts organization that brings out the best in Ko.I dont think Ive seen anyone who loves golf as much as they do, Ko said.She won her first LPGA title as a full member of the tour when Swinging Skirts was title sponsor of the event at Lake Merced outside San Francisco in 2014, and then she won the event there again the following year.Now, Ko is in contention to win the Swinging Skirts LPGA Taiwan Championship at Ta Shee Golf & Country Club in Taoyuan City.With a 6-under-par 66 Friday, the low round of the day, Ko moved into third place, two shots behind the homeland favorite, Taiwans Wei-Ling Hsu (67), and one shot behind Jodi Ewart Shadoff (71).I feel like I have a great relationship with the people here at Swinging Skirts, [tournament] chairman Wang, and everyone has been super supportive, Ko said. I love coming here. The food is amazing and the fans are great, and especially with so many of the Taiwanese players playing such great golf, I think everyone is super excited to see the LPGA.Hsu is trying to keep the LPGAs run of home cooking going. Shes looking to become the sixth player to win on home soil this year. Georgia Hall won in England, Brooke Henderson won in Canada, In Gee Gun won in South Korea and Americans Annie Park and Marina Alex won in the United States.

Actually, Ko said Taiwans home-cooked meals have been good for her, too. She joked that shes thriving on baby food this week.The food is amazing, Ko said. My favorite thing actually at the buffet has been sweet, like pumpkin puree, but it's not seasoned. I'm guessing it's for the babies. So the best thing for me has been the baby food.Swinging Skirts is a non-profit organization based in Taiwan with a stated mission to grow the game globally. Its members wear skirts and kilts to pay homage to the games Scottish roots.Ko, 21, won the LPGAs Mediheal Championship in April, ending a 20-month victory drought. She continues to build on the new swing that coach Ted Oh has helped her shape this season. Shes coming off a tie for second at last weeks Buick LPGA Shanghai, her third top-10 finish in the last four weeks. She hasnt finished worse than T-11 in her last four starts, with eight top-10 finishes overall this year.I feel like Ive been playing better the last few months, Ko said at weeks start. For me, just having more competitive rounds under par builds the confidence. Sometimes, I feel like it's the small things that kind of let me down, so I'm trying to be a bit more detailed and make sure that my focus levels are high and continuously high, and not only just at the start of the round, or the end of the round. Just trying to maintain the focus.Ko is No. 16 in the Rolex Womens World Rankings. She was asked by reporters in Shanghai last week how much she thinks about a return to No. 1.I would obviously love to be back there, Ko said. But, I'm not really thinking about my rankings. I don't even know what it is right now. I'm just going out there and trying to play the best I can and making myself more opportunities to be in contention, to be at the top of the leaderboard.That's all you can do. Sometimes, you get too carried away about the awards and rankings. It just becomes so much. To me, I think it's more important to keep putting myself there, shooting in the 60s, and that way I think it builds the confidence and the rankings kind of sort itself out.
Rolex Rankings No. 1 Inbee Park tied the low round of the day with a 10-under, 62, to sit at 18-under for the tournament. Park, who earlier this week retook the top spot in the rankings, holds a

Anderson was looking for a place to cut some wood. She'd a cord and a half laid by, but wanted at least another three to take her through the winter. She had cut a lot since those early days when Peter had been a pup sharpening his teeth on an old slipper (and wetting all too often on the dining-room rug), but the place was still not short.
