18 YO! Lydia Holds Off Inbee, Setting Up Dinah Week Showdown

She's just not burning out, showing signs of slowing down or in any way becoming less amazing. Lydia Ko took the Kia Classic by four over world No. 2 Inbee Park.

From the LPGA Tour's notes:

The 4-shot victory was the 11th of Ko’s short career, including her two wins as an amateur. Ko has now won five times when she slept on a 54-hole lead and continues the dominant start to her career in just her third year on Tour.

They also offered a comparison with Tiger to give some idea of how impressive her career start has been...

Lydia Ko’s 11th career win on the LPGA Tour came in her 71st start (including 16 amateur starts and two wins) and when she was 18 years old, 11 months and 3 days.

Tiger Wood’s 11th career win on the PGA Tour came in his 67th start (including 17 amateur starts) and when he was 23 years old, 5 months and 8 days.

Ko starred earlier in the week on Callaway Live, so there's no jinx there.
