Ko’s 16th career victory at the Lotte Championship in Hawaii today beckons back to her early years of dominance as her talent emerged like a phoenix reborn.
Ko hasn’t won a tournament since 2018 and earlier this season she fell outside the top 50 in the world ranking for the first time since her first year as a professional.
The timing of the change this time around is notable in that Ko is the defending champion this week at the LPGA Mediheal Championship at Lake Merced Golf Club outside San Francisco.
Unfortunately for the rest of the field, after points leader Ariya Jutanugarn’s pre-tournament press conference, it sounds like she is prepared for the season’s final moment.
The new Ecco Strike design is defined by an improved spiked outsole which features a rotational line that compliments the natural movement of the foot throughout the swing.
The Englishwoman’s play over four days at Royal Lytham & St Annes made it easy to forget that she started the week as a 22-year-old LPGA rookie still looking for her first tour win.
