Wellington (AFP) - New Zealand's prime minister led the congratulations Monday after 18-year-old Lydia Ko made golfing history as the youngest winner of a women's major title.
"Amazing stuff," tweeted John Key. "Congratulations on your win at the Evian Championship and becoming the youngest ever major winner in women's golf."
New Zealand's Ko also became the youngest player to claim the world number one ranking in February, when she was still 17, although she is now second behind Park In-bee.
