RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. – There aren’t many people on the planet who can relate to Lydia Ko. No teenager has dominated golf like Ko – male or female. And yet, to most outside the golf world, she remains a relative unknown.

On Tuesday at the inaugural ANA Inspiring Women in Sports Conference, an impressive collection of Olympic stars – Missy Franklin, Lindsey Vonn, Abby Wambach and Kristi Yamaguchi – sat down with some of the LPGA’s finest to talk about their inspired journeys to the top. Soccer’s Julie Foudy, a two-time Olympic gold medalist in her own right, served as host and moderator with Poppie’s Pond as a backdrop.
