14-Year-Old Wins Women’s NSW Open, Breaking Age Record

Ama­teur Lydia Ko is only 14 years old, but she’s been turn­ing heads for a cou­ple years already. One year ago, in the New South Wales Open on the ALPG Tour, Ko fin­ished one stroke behind the win­ner, Cather­ine Hedwall. That was Hedwall’s first vic­tory as a pro, and Hed­wall went on to win the LET Rookie of the Year Award. This year, Ko made sure not to fall just short.
