Ko plays down chance to pass super Swede on money list

Lydia Ko enters this week's US Women's Open with a chance to eclipse Annika Sorenstam as the biggest money-winner in women's golf, but the New Zealander doesn't believe the ‌comparisons are fair.

"It's cool ‌to be, I guess, compared to that record and hopefully surpass it at some point, but it's very hard to compare it because we are playing for a lot more money than she did."
