Lydia Ko Wins AIG Women's Open at St. Andrews

Lydia Ko celebrated a remarkable few weeks by winning the AIG Women’s British Open at the Old Course in St. Andrews, just two weeks after securing an Olympic gold medal and qualifying for the LPGA Hall of Fame. Ko's final round of 69 brought her to a total of 7 under par, allowing her to fend off major challengers including Nelly Korda and Lilia Vu, both former world No. 1s. Korda, who was leading at one point, faltered with a double-bogey on the 14th, while Vu missed crucial birdie opportunities that could have forced a playoff. Reflecting on her achievements, Ko expressed disbelief at her success, describing the experience as 'almost too good to be true'. This victory marks her third major title and her first in eight years, underscoring her return to form in the sport. Ko's emotional win at the iconic venue has solidified her status among golf's elite.
