THE COLONY, TEXAS — Jin Young Ko wanted a new trophy for her new house in Texas, and she even picked up something for the closet.
The South Korean star had to work hard for her one-shot victory. Her putting was not up to her standards. Her game didn't feel quite as sharp as it was during Ko's nearly two-year reign as No. 1 in the women's world ranking.
But it was enough for a 2-under 69, closing with seven straight pars for a one-shot victory over Matilda Castren of Finland at Old American Golf Club, about 30 minutes from Ko's new house.
