Hannah Green has fallen an agonising one shot short of a historic medal for Australia as the women’s golf competition came to an enthralling finale at Le Golf National on Saturday.
Minjee Lee and Hannah Green believe a medal is still possible despite drifting outside contention after the second round of the Olympic women’s golf tournament in Paris.
Ko sees the Olympics as a special opportunity not merely because it might be her last in the quadrennial event, but because the Albatros course demands the kind of precision and focus that rewards a more measured, discerning mind of someone who’s been there before.
How did Babe get so good at golf, so quickly? Her unfathomable athleticism obviously plays a huge role, but a great book called “Wonder Girl” by Don Van Natta shared some other clues which the rest of us may learn from.
The Olympics could be the return to the form the top player in the women’s game has been looking for, and two weeks of hard work has her pointing to a second gold medal.
Ko is one of 15 women this week competing in the Olympics for the third time. Despite all her achievements, she now feels the Olympics is in a different place for her.
Olympic golf is having a moment, and it’s one that should only continue as the top women players in the world take the stage. Thirteen of the top 15 players in the Rolex Women’s World Ranking are in the 60-player field.
