20 LPGA Tour wins, including 2 major wins
The last major win was in 2016.
Today’s opening Scottish Open
“My goal is to win a major tournament again.”
Lydia Ko (27, pictured), a New Zealand resident who won the gold medal in women’s golf at the Paris Olympics, said this at a press conference on the 14th, a day before the opening of the ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open on the US LPGA Tour. She has won the Paris Olympics and will be inducted into the LPGA Tour Hall of Fame, but she answered this question when asked if she still has a goal. “It would be great to win one more major before I retire,” she said. Lydia Ko has recorded a total of 20 wins on the LPGA Tour, including two majors. Her last major win was the 2016 ANA Inspiration (now the Chevron Championship).
Lydia Ko said, “Before the Paris Olympics, I had told my teammates that if I won the gold medal, I wouldn’t play in the Scottish Women’s Open, which would be held right after. But as I was walking to the Olympic podium, one of my coaches asked me, ‘What’s your next goal?’ and I changed my mind.” She decided to play in the Scottish Women’s Open, which will be held at Dundonald Links in Ayrshire, Scotland, to prepare for the AIG Women’s Open, the last major tournament of the LPGA Tour season, which opens on the 22nd. The AIG Women’s Open is also held at the Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland.
Golf magazine ‘Golf Digest’ reported on this day, “Lydia Ko has finished in the ‘top 10’ in major tournaments 11 times since her last major tournament win,” and “she decided to participate in the Scottish Women’s Open in order to continue the momentum from Paris, where she won the gold medal.”
Lydia Ko, who has said in the past that she would play until she is 30, said, “I don’t know why I said that,” and added, “It’s something that I have to think about a lot, and I don’t think it’s something that can be decided overnight.” She said, “When I’m playing golf, when I’m having a bad time, I want to quit right away, and when I’m having a good time, I feel like I can keep going forever. This year won’t be my last as a player.”
