The Kobra Snaps Up Number 10

Yes, it is legit. Lydia Ko were given her tenth expert win at the ISPS Handa New Zealand Women?S Open.

Lydia holds up scorecard with course record

It wasn't enough that she shot the bottom round of her profession at the same time as putting the course report (sixty one) on the Clearwater Golf Club in Christchurch for the duration of the second spherical. She additionally made it again-to-returned wins after taking the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open last week.

After that awesome 2nd round, the Kobra struggled a bit in her very last spherical. She controlled to shoot -3 within the first 7 holes, best to double the eighth and bogey the ninth. Then she barely neglected a chip-in eagle on 10 (she did get the birdie) and barely overlooked a 50-footer for birdie on eleven.

But the massive circulate got here on 12. Charley Hull was doing her fine to run Lydia down and became best 2 shots returned... Till she doubled the hole at the same time as Lydia birdied. That 3-shot swing dropped Charley five strokes off the tempo and she in no way recovered. Lydia ought to most effective put up a seventy one within the final spherical -- for a -14 overall -- however it changed into properly sufficient for a 4-stroke win over amateur Hannah Green. Charley shot seventy five and finished 7 shots back.

Of route, Lydia is meant to play this week on the HSBC Women's Champions in Singapore -- you realize, the match Paula Creamer received last year with that ridiculously long putt. Of route everybody wonders if Lydia can make it 3 in a row. But there's an even more tantalizing question begging for a solution...

Just how many tournaments can the Kobra win earlier than she turns 18 in past due April?
