EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France (AP) -- Defending champion Lydia Ko starts her bid for a third major title by the age of 19 at the Evian Championship, the final major of the season.
But it will be hard to match her performance last year, let alone improve it.
She became the youngest major champion in LPGA history with her six-shot triumph, sinking a 15-foot birdie putt to close with a final-round 63 for an LPGA record low last round by a winner at a major.
''A lot of memories of walking down the 18th on that last day,'' Ko said Wednesday ahead of Thursday's opening round.
