Eighteen year-old Lydia Ko proved she is the future of ladies' golf by capturing the Evian "Major" Championship in France this past weekend. Ko finished at -16 under par six strokes better than her next rival American Lexi Thompson who came in at -10 under par. Ko's future is very bright indeed and at a mere 18 years of age she is poised to be the Tiger Woods for many years to come.
Victory, and specifically an official career Grand Slam, was not in the cards for South Korea's Inbee Park who completed the tournament at -5 under par some 11 strokes behind Ko. Park is a true superstar in her own right and agruable one of the most gifted ladies to play professional golf. Despite the heartache of loosing her quest for a career Grand Slam, Park is likely to win the Evian - as a Major - in the coming years. She is simply too good. So what is next for both Ko and Park? Surely a healthy and entertaining rivalry which will elevate the level of ladies' play for many seasons. Share your thoughts with the Pro Golf Tour.
