Singapore (AP) – The Olympic gold medalist and the LPGA renown temple, Lydia Ko, moved to a head shot with a 5 -mine of 67 Friday after two towers of the HSBC women’s world championship.

“I do not think that I generally play very well on this golf course and I thought that this year would be a happy new year to make it,” said KO. “The scores have not really been so low in recent days. I’m just trying to focus on me and I hope I continue to climb in the ranking.”
Ko said the Olympic entrance to the gold and the fame of fame had changed his state of mind.
“I am definitely having fun, and in a way, I have the impression of being in a position where I can go for things and try new things and obviously, I do not fire what was good last year,” said Ko.
“But I think it’s a bit of a different state of mind. I always have goals, and even if I still play, I want to play the best golf I can and face as much as possible. There is no better feeling than being the person who hoisted the trophy at the end of Sunday. »»
