Ko snaps title drought
Print Edition
Former world No. 1 Lydia Ko ended a near-two-year victory drought on Sunday with an eagle at the first playoff hole to beat Minjee Lee in the LPGA Mediheal Championship.
New Zealand’s Ko, has slipped to 18th in the world as she searched for her first LPGA victory since July 2016. Up by one to start the day, she bogeyed three of her first six holes, but showed her championship mettle on a solid back nine at the Lake Merced Golf Club in California, where victories in 2014 and 2015 helped fuel her rise to the summit of women’s golf.
Her three-wood second shot at the first playoff hole, the par-five 18th, bounced short of the green and rolled toward the pin. After Australia’s Lee salvaged a birdie from the greenside rough, Ko rolled in her three-foot eagle putt to end the playoff duel.
