16-Year-Old Lydia Ko Now An LPGA Member

/

Hardly a shocker that LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan green lit Lydia Ko's petition to join the LPGA. Kind of hard to turn down the world number five player.

Beth Ann Baldry praises a move that paves the way for Ko to debut as a member in late November at the CME Group Titleholders. She also spoke to veteran Karen Stuples.

LPGA veteran Karen Stupples believes “you only get a certain shelf-life in this game” and was happy to see Ko turn pro.

“Make hay while the sun is shining,” said Stupples, echoing a sentiment Laura Davies made last February while playing New Zealand.
