NAPLES, Fla. – Next week marks the two-year anniversary of the day Lydia Ko began working with her swing coach, David Leadbetter.
There was much angst at the time, questions about whether Ko should be abandoning the swing and the New Zealand coach who helped her emerge as such a phenom.
So how’s it going?
Ko, 18, has reigned as Rolex world No. 1 for 23 weeks since the union. She has won eight LPGA titles, including her first major championship, the Evian Championship in September. She claimed the biggest payday in the history of women’s golf, winning the CME Group Tour Championship last year, and is looking to do it again this week.
