Lydia Ko wins the 2024 Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions
Ko hit a final round of 70 to lift the Tournament of Champions trophy. The Kiwi golfer carded a two-under-par finish, including four birdies and two bogeys. She beat runner-up Pano by two shots despite shooting 70 on the final day. She finished 12 under in Orlando.
Opening up about her 20th career LPGA title, Lydia Ko said at the 2024 Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, as quoted by BBC:
"I tried to work hard in the two weeks leading up to this event. There were definitely nerves but a little less just because it is my home course. To see so many members come out and clap and cheer me on was the best part of this week."
For the unversed, Ko also became the seventh golfer to reach the 20 LPGA title wins before turning 27.
