Sounds like nothing could stop Lydia Ko this week at the Kroger Queen City Championship! The Kiwi came out firing in her return from a months-long break.
Shot's like 67, 66, 69 to start showed she was focused from the get-go. But nothing topped her closing 63 - she finished the final round on fire. 29 shots over her last nine holes?! Unreal stuff from Lydia.
That epic round of 63 gave her a five shot victory at 23-under for the tournament. Absolutely dominated the field from wire to wire. You gotta feel for whoever had to chase that!
second place Atthaya played great too at 20-under, but it just wasn't enough to catch Lydia on this day. Haeran snagged third, but it was all about the champion Ko.
This win is her third title of 2024. Can you believe Lydia and Nelly are the only multi-winners out here so far? It's been quite a season for our girl.
With a huge $300k payday, she heads to next week's event in Arkansas riding high. On this form, it's gonna take something special to stop Lydia as we head into the home stretch!
