Lydia has kept her amazing year going by equaling the course record with a three under 69 in the final round of the Charles Tour Muriwai Open. She was too consistent for Auckland professional Phillis Meti in the wind and won the women’s title by three shots continuing an incredible run.

“Winning every tournament is a new feeling and I am happy to play well here,” said the North Harbour amateur Ko.

The 14-year-old admits it’s that it is hard living up to the billing of being World No.1.

“People expect amazing things,” said Ko. “There is pressure because everyone who come to watch me want to see the flashy stuff but the conditions were hard here this week. It is nice to win after a good game with Phillis. She played very well and I am happy that I improved throughout the week.”

Ko shot progressively better throughout the week with a 74, 72, 70 and 69 to seal the title with a three under par total. She will now prepare for the British Amateur and Astor Trophy event in the United Kingdom in June.
