KAWAGOE, Japan – When Lydia Ko was traveling home from the 2016 Olympics she was stopped as she went through airport security. The X-ray machine had detected the outline of her silver medal, which was in her carry-on baggage.
“Yeah, that's the silver medal,” she said at the time.
Best. Humble. Brag. Ever.
The thing is, Ko doesn’t brag.
“Maybe a little douchey,” she admitted on Tuesday at Kasumigaseki Country Club. “I'm normally not the type to say, Hey, like, this is what I got, but the Olympics is so special.”
Ko said winning the silver medal in Rio was among the highlights of her career.
