Lydia Ko has followed up her phenomenal rookie year with an equally spectacular sophomore year on the Tour: 16 top-10 finishes, five of those victories, her first major championship title at the Evian.
In terms of performance stats Ko isn’t the best in anything, and yet in terms of the total package she’s as close to perfection as any golfer who’s ever teed it up.
Now she’s the player everybody’s chasing, and that’s a tough spot. We’ll get a close look at Ko’s mental game in Naples, because that’s where it’s going to come down. It’s not a question of her technical game. That’s already been settled.
