The 23-year-old is taking part in the Moonlight Classic and hopes to ‘keep it straight so it’s within the floodlit line’
At 14, Lydia Ko was already a record breaker. Her 2012 victory in the Women’s NSW Open on the Australian Ladies Professional Golf Tour was, at that stage, at the youngest age in professional golf. Ko was firmly on course for greatness.
So much has been said about Ko’s development and achievements – or lack of them – since those teenage years but, at 23, she has her swagger back. There would not appear many firsts left in the life of the New Zealander but two have been achieved this week. In her maiden visit to Dubai, Ko will make her debut under floodlights during the Ladies European Tour’s Moonlight Classic, which starts on Wednesday.
