Ko back to winning ways
Print Edition
Jin Young Ko wanted a new trophy for her new house in Texas, and she even picked up something for the closet.
She received a pair of cowboy boots for winning the Volunteers of America Classic on Sunday.
The South Korean star had to work hard for her one-shot victory. Her putting was not up to her standards. Her game didn鈥檛 feel quite as sharp as it was during Ko鈥檚 nearly two-year reign as No. 1 in the women鈥檚 world ranking.
But it was enough for a 2-under 69, closing with seven straight pars for a one-shot victory over Matilda Castren of Finland at Old American Golf Club, about 30 minutes from Ko鈥檚 new house.
鈥淚 was thinking these boots is good size for me,鈥 Ko said. 鈥淪o yeah, I just bought a house and then I want to get new trophy because my old trophies is in Korea. But this new one is special.鈥
Ko won for the first time this year, and it was one week after she lost the No. 1 ranking to Nelly Korda, who supplanted Ko by winning the KPMG Women鈥檚 PGA Championship.
Ko had failed to finish in the top 10 in four of her previous five starts on the LPGA Tour.
