Lydia Ko wins gold

Lydia Ko of New Zealand secured the gold medal in women's Olympic golf, completing her medal collection with a final score of 10 under par. The 27-year-old, who previously won silver in Rio and bronze in Tokyo, faced a challenge from Germany's Esther Henseleit, finishing two strokes ahead. After starting the final round tied for the lead, Ko briefly faltered with a double bogey on the 13th hole, but regained her composure to secure victory with a birdie on the 18th. This win not only highlights her remarkable career but also guarantees her entry into the LPGA Hall of Fame. Ko expressed her emotional connection to the moment, thanking her family and reflecting on the significance of her achievement. With plans to retire from professional golf before the next Olympics, Ko's victory marks a poignant conclusion to her Olympic journey.
