Rookie Win's the 1st Major of the Year

The ANA Inspiration never disappoints and this year was no exception. LPGA Rookie, PATTY TAVATANAKIT became the 1st Major Champion of 2021 which gave her the honour, at this iconic tournament, of making the famous leap into Poppies Pond. But the glory was not all hers, as history unfolded before our very eyes. Former World No 1 and 2016 ANA Champion Lydia Ko, leapt up the leaderboard as she took just 29 strokes to complete the front 9. Her score is the lowest recorded 9 holes in ANA history. It was a joy to watch and Lydia went on to shoot 62, the lowest final round in LPGA Major history. Extraordinary golf, from an extraordinary golfer. LPGA 2021 is going to be a ride!

If you missed the ANA, you can catch up via the Sky Sports Golf YouTube Channel - it’s well worth your time.
