Olympic champion Lydia Ko wins Singapore LPGA
SINGAPORE (AP) — Lydia Ko finally conquered the LPGA’s HSBC Women’s World Championship, clinching her first title at her 11th attempt with a dominant four-stroke win over Ayaka Furue and Jeeno Thitikul in Sunday’s final round.
The 2024 Olympic gold medalist and Women’s British Open champion overcame a middling start before finding her rhythm with a birdie on the par-5 sixth.
Ko added back-to-back birdies on Nos. 7 and 8, seizing control of the leaderboard from then on.
Despite dropping two bogeys after the turn, the world No. 3 closed with a solid 69, sealing a 13-under-par 275 total at Sentosa Golf Club.
