Under everyday situations I must be writing "Remember Saturday, 31 January 2015. That's the day Na Yeon Choi won the inaugural Coates Golf Championship." And due to that -- it is been some thing like 2 years seeing that NYC remaining won -- I'm going first of all that and post this photo of her with the trophy due to the fact she deserves the recognition. This victory changed into tough-won, and you may examine some of NYC's feedback on the LPGA's event web page. Well achieved, Na Yeon!
But ultimately the headline has to be "Remember Saturday, 31 January 2015. That's the day Lydia Ko made history... again."
At the very young age of 17 years, 9 months and eight days old, Lydia Ko became the youngest golfer ever to turn out to be World #1 -- even younger than Tiger, by means of almost 4 years. (Okay, the LPGA.Com publish lists her at 17 years, nine months and nine days but GC listed her at 17/9/eight so that's what I'm posting.)
The Kobra finished in a three-way tie for 2d on the Coates, simply one shot off NYC's winning rating, however that become sufficient to take the pinnacle spot inside the Rolex Women's World Rankings. And in step with that web page at LPGA.Com I cited in advance, best 3 gamers in ANY recreation have end up #1 at a younger age than Lydia -- Martina Hingis, Monica Seles and Tracy Austin, all three tennis players.
Pretty heady enterprise, regardless of how you slice it.
Of course the debates have already commenced. Can the Kobra hold it up like Tiger did and dominate for a long term? Or will she burn brightly for a brief time like Yani Tseng, then locate herself suffering to get better? Will it change Lydia's charmingly naive character or will she by some means manage to live the equal?
I'll depart the debates for some other day. What I will say is that we will all recollect Saturday, 31 January 2015 because the day we were given to see records being made via the youngest member of the LPGA Tour...
And that, but briefly, Na Yeon Choi compelled her to percentage the highlight, that's something few different gamers manipulate to do. Remember that too.
