Lydia Ko Wins 2024 AIG Women's Open

Lydia Ko triumphed at the AIG Women’s Open at St Andrews, marking her first major victory since 2016, with a clutch performance including four birdies in a crucial stretch. Nelly Korda, the world No. 1, faced a challenging round, dropping five shots in six holes but remained in contention, finishing just two strokes behind Ko. Jiyai Shin, who held the lead after 54 holes, faltered with crucial bogeys, finishing behind the leaders. The tournament showcased a stellar leaderboard, with other notable performances from defending champion Lilia Vu and emerging star Ruoning Yin.
