How Lydia Ko shook off a slump and regained her world-beating form
Lydia Ko, New Zealand’s most successful golfer, is back on top. After a slump that saw her lose her world number one ranking, Ko has regained her form and is now once again a force to be reckoned with.
Ko’s resurgence began at the recent ANA Inspiration, where she finished in a tie for second place. She followed that up with a victory at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, her first major championship win since 2016.
Ko’s return to form has been attributed to a number of factors, including a change in her swing and a renewed focus on her mental game. She has also been working with a new coach, Sean Foley, who has helped her to improve her consistency and accuracy.
