Fellow young guns aiming for Ko's No. 1 ranking

With so many young challengers coming at her this year, Lydia Ko did more than hold on to the Rolex World No. 1 ranking from year’s start to finish.

She kept a stranglehold on it.

While Ko, 19, is looking forward to some rest after a long season – she plans to take the rest of the year off – there will be some work to do in January to hold off all the young talent aiming to take the No. 1 ranking from her.

Ko’s reign atop the Rolex world rankings has reached 76 weeks, the last 57 in a row.
