Ko wins New Zealand Open

UNFAZED by an earthquake just before she teed off, top-ranked Lydia Ko won the New Zealand Women’s Open in Christchurch for the third time in four years yesterday.

The magnitude 5.7 quake rattled the area about 10 minutes before Ko began play. She started the round on time and play wasn’t interrupted by the quake. Ko closed with a 2-under 70 for a two-stroke victory. The 18-year-old South Korean-born New Zealander finished at 10-under 206 at Clearwater Golf Club. She also won the national championship in 2013 and 2015.

England’s Felicity Johnson, South Korean amateur Choi Hye-jin and Denmark’s Nanna Koerstz Madsen tied for second. Johnson shot 67, Choi 69, and Madsen 70.
