14 Y.O. Lydia Ko Wins New South Wales Open
/Chris Barkley reports that New Zealand amateur Lydia Ko became the youngest winner of a women's event sanctioned by one of the five major tours.
A year after she three-putted to gift Caroline Hedwall a one stroke victory in the NSW Open, the ultra-talented 14-year-old found redemption as she won her first ALPG tour title - and in doing so became the youngest woman ever to win a professional tournament.
The North Harbour teenager, by way of South Korea, held playing partner Lindsay Wright at bay over the third and final round to supplant Amy Yang at the top of the leader board of junior golfing prodigies with a commanding four shot victory.
