Lydia Ko Wins AIG Women's Open Title

Lydia Ko triumphed at the AIG Women's Open at St. Andrews, securing her third major title and first since 2016, just weeks after winning Olympic gold. Starting the final round tied for fourth, Ko made a remarkable comeback with three birdies, ultimately finishing with a 3-under 69 and a total of 7 under par, two strokes ahead of a group that included Nelly Korda and defending champion Lilia Vu. Vu needed a birdie on the 18th to force a playoff but instead made a bogey, sealing Ko's victory. Reflecting on her recent success, Ko described the past weeks as a 'Cinderella-like story', expressing disbelief at her achievements. This win adds to her previous major titles from the Evian Championship and Chevron Championship, marking a significant milestone in her career amidst challenging weather conditions at the iconic course. Ko's continued excellence highlights her status as one of the top players in women's golf today.
