ST. ANDREWS, Scotland -- Lydia Ko captured her third major title -- and first in eight years -- by breaking free from a logjam of world-class talent to win the Women's British Open at the home of golf on Sunday, capping a summer when she also took gold at the Olympic Games.
The 27-year-old Kiwi rolled in a left-to-right birdie putt at the storied 18th hole on the Old Course at St. Andrews to shoot 3-under 69 and then had to wait to finish ahead of top-ranked Nelly Korda, defending champion Lilia Vu and two-time champion Jiyai Shin.
