Lydia Ko is off to a good start with Sean Foley as her new swing coach.
Ko put up a 3-under-par 69 Friday at the Drive On Championship in the LPGA’s restart after a five-month pause amid the coronavirus pandemic. Ko left swing coach Jorge Parada during the long break. Foley is her sixth swing coach in the last seven years. She said they began working together about a month to a month-and-a-half ago.
“He hasn't ripped anything apart,” Ko said. “He said what I had there was still pretty good. So, very small things.”
Ko, 23, the former teen phenom who became the youngest winner of an LPGA tournament at 15 and the youngest winner of a women’s major at 18, has won 15 LPGA titles, but just one over the last three-plus seasons.
