Lydia Ko has attracted scrutiny and criticism for replacing coaches, sacking caddies and switching equipment manufacturers. In defence of Ko, we examine why the young star felt the need to make changes … and why she was absolutely right to make them.

In-Kyung Kim won the Shoprite LPGA Classic, shooting a closing 69 and an 11-under 202 in the 54-hole event at the Bay Course at Stockton Seaview Resort in Galloway, New Jersey.
Lydia Ko is an unquestionable talent, one of the top three players of her profession. Sadly, she’s also gained a reputation for making impulsive – critics would say imprudent – decisions.
