South Korean woman golfer, Jin Young Ko, has won the CP Women’s Open at the Magna Club on Sunday.
It was Ko’s fourth win of 2019. She became the first LPGA player to play a bogey-free, four-round tournament since fellow South Korean Inbee Park did it at the 2015 HSBC Women’s World Champions.
Ko played the tournament at 26-under 262. She managed eight birdies, including six on the second nine. She beat by five shots Nicole Broch Larsen (69), from Denmark.
The 24-year-old golfer did not commit a single bogey during the tournament. At the ninth hole, she cleverly recovered a bad touch on her second shot. A roll of six feet allowed him to get away with a normal. She earned $ 337,500 on a $ 2.25 million global scholarship.
Walking toward the 18th green, Ko asked her gaming partner, Brooke Henderson, assiduously followed by a partisan crowd, to join her. The two golfers then walked side by side, a gesture that the Ontarian appreciated.
“I thought when I was walking to the 18th green that the crowd was for Brooke, not me. We’re here in Canada and she has a lot of fans.” Ko said.
“So, Brooke, this crowd is for you. But she said ‘no, it’s for you,’ so we went together.” she added.
Henderson, meanwhile, she became the first Canadian to win the national championship in last season, she was the most popular golfer at the LPGA Tour event.
“We have a lot of respect for each other. If it was not me who won, I’m glad it’s her. We could not have a better person or a better golfer as a winner. Ko has now raised four trophies in 2019.” Henderson said.
“She’s world No. 1 for a reason. She’s had an unreal season. I don’t even know, is it four wins now? Four wins on one of the toughest tours there is. There is so much talent out here.
“To get one win is hard, to get four is really cool. It’s hard to win a single tournament, so four times it’s fabulous.” Henderson added.
