O’Toole’s 72-hole aggregate of 271, 17-under par, was three shots better than anyone else and saw her claim the Scottish Women’s Open title over the spectacular Dumbarnie Links.
For the second week in a row, Australia came up short at Kasumigaseki Country Club as Hannah Green’s three-under final round was not enough to secure a medal.
The thing is, it’s not like Ko isn’t extremely proud of winning the medal. On the contrary, she says it’s one of the biggest moments of her life. And that final round and the medal ceremony remains vivid in her memories.
We have witnessed tournaments without fans – which gave us, if nothing else, a break from screams of, “Get in the hole!” Perhaps in an act of karmic grace, we have witnessed what can best be described as “The Year of the Comeback.”
With Olympic Club hosting the US Women’s Open for the first time this week, Kay Cockerill, has become a “course whisperer” to many with questions about the iconic venue ahead of the championship.
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.
Though Kang has to ultimately convert the shots on-course alone, as every golfer does, she gains great strength from this golf community she’s built around her.
