Aloha - Lydia Ko back in the Winners Circle where she belongs

It’s been a while, but all the hard work that Lydia Ko and her Team have put in over the last few years, produced an almost flawless display of golf in Hawaii. Lydia took the Lotte Championship in spectacular style with a Tournament record 28 under Par and 7 shots clear of the field. Ko has had a super start to the season and looks completely dialed in, in that Lydia Ko way, where she makes golf look so effortless and fun, never taking herself too seriously and always treating her fellow competitors and those working to deliver these tournaments, with the utmost respect.

Golf might never get a better role model than Lydia Ko, still only 23, with years ahead to win more tournaments and major championships. Golf is better because she plays.

We await to see where the rest of 2021 takes her, but from her recent form, we think she’s just getting going.

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.
