Lydia Ko won by two strokes at Le Golf National at the 2024 Paris Olympics to claim her long-awaited gold medal.The New Zealander finished at 10 under, ahead of silver medalist Esther Henseleit of Germany at 8 under and bronze medalist Xiyu Lin of China at 7 under.
The 27-year-old Ko was tied for the lead entering the round and made three birdies on the front nine to take the lead.But she made double bogey on the 13th hole and fell from a three-shot lead to one shot ahead of Germany's Esther Hanslet, who put pressure on her rival by shooting an 8-under 66 about an hour ahead of Ko.
But Ko persevered through the watery closing holes at the National Golf Club, staying out of trouble and making four straight pars to take a one-shot lead on the par-5 final hole.Ko hit a shot on the par-5 hole, hitting it to 6 feet and then holed a two-putt to win by two shots.
Nelly Korda, the defending gold medalist for the United States, was 1 under.Rose Zhang struggled in the final group, shooting 74 to miss out on bronze by three strokes, while Lilia Vu finished at 5 over.
Not only can Ko call himself the most decorated Olympic golfer in Summer Olympic history, but he also earned eligibility for induction into the LPGA Hall of Fame — all at the ripe age of 27.Ko came into Paris just one point shy of the 27-point threshold needed to qualify, and her gold medal was enough to set her apart.
Her 27 points include 18 LPGA Tour victories (18 ), two major championships (4), two Varley Trophies (2), two LPGA Player of the Year honors (2) and an Olympic gold medal (1).
