A look into Lydia Ko's performance at the 2025 HSBC Women's World Championship
Ko initially had a tough start at the HSBC Women's World Championship on Thursday, February 27, playing the opening round of 1-under 71. She could only sink two birdies in the first round on the fourth and eighth holes while carding a bogey on the par-3 15th on the back nine.
However, after the rough start, the New Zealander had a decent outing in the second round on Friday, February 28, when she played a bogey-free round. Ko made five birdies on Friday for a round of 5-under 67, followed by the third round of 4-under 68.
The 27-year-old started the third round on Saturday, March 1, with a birdie on the second hole but then struggled on the fourth, carding a bogey. She then made a birdie on the seventh, followed by a bogey on the eighth, and then a birdie on the ninth. On the back nine, Ko made four birdies and a bogey and settled for a total of 10-under after 54 holes while heading into the final round.
In the finale, Lydia Ko posted five birdies along with two bogeys for a round of 3-under 69. Speaking of her victory during the post-round press conference, Ko said (via ASAP Sports):
"I dreamt last night that I won but then I woke up, and I was like, dang, it's not real yet. But I just wanted to focus on my game, and it was a pretty tight leaderboard. There's been a lot of change throughout the past few days."
Prior to this week's event, Lydia Ko had played in the 2025 Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, where she had a solo sixth-place finish. Before this, she was tied for 48th at the 2025 Founders Cup.
