Lydia Ko emerged victorious at the Women's British Open, securing her third major title and first in eight years. The 27-year-old New Zealander navigated through a field of elite players to claim a two-stroke victory at St. Andrews on Sunday, adding to her impressive summer that also included a gold medal at the Olympic Games.
Ko's winning putt came on the iconic 18th hole of the Old Course, where she sank a left-to-right birdie to card a 3-under 69. She then anxiously waited for the remaining contenders, including top-ranked Nelly Korda, defending champion Lilia Vu, and two-time champion Jiyai Shin, to complete their rounds.
