Lydia Ko wowed the golfing public by winning the HSBC Women’s World Championship, although some expected this tournament to bring a variety of surprises. The 27-year-old golfer could not hide her emotions after such an important victory, saying that the night before the final round she dreamed that she would win this competition.
Although she was aware that the competition was fierce, the experienced golfer remained calm in the key moments, celebrating in this tournament.
“I dreamt last night that I won but then I woke up, and I was like, it’s not real yet,” said Ko.
“So, I just wanted to focus on my game as it was a pretty tight leaderboard.
I felt a lot better coming into this event than a few weeks ago.”
Lydia Ko: Earnings
Golf fans have always had sympathy for her, especially because of her unique character, as well as her skills.
Lydia Ko earned as much as 360,000 dollars with this victory.
It is known that women’s golf is going in the right direction in recent years, with aspirations to become even more popular in the coming period.
Lydia Ko moved up on the official career earnings list, passing Karrie Webb. Judging by the data, the New Zealand golfer has earned 20.6 million dollars so far, which is a really impressive figure, considering that only Annika Sorenstam has earned more than her in career.
However, Lydia is not far from her, considering that she needs approximately two million more to overtake Annika on the list.
The New Zealand golfer is currently third on the ranking list, but if she continues at this pace, there is no doubt that she can really be at the top. The famous golfer has so far achieved 23 victories in her career, and she is well on her way to making that figure even bigger.
