New Zealand's Lydia Ko couldn't buy a putt Saturday at the women's Olympic golf tournament, but when it mattered most, the world No. 1 came through in Rio.
Faced with an 7-foot putt on the 18th hole with a silver medal hanging in the balance, Ko's golf ball slid in the side door for a birdie on the final hole of golf's return to the Olympics in more than a century.
"My celebration was like as if I won the gold," said Ko, who shot a final-round 2-under-par 69. "... I wasn't putting very great today, so just to see something go in I think was really cool because now there's no playoff.
