Ko never gave her rivals a chance in a dominant final round in Hawaii.
Lydia Ko’s breakthrough win in Honolulu on Sunday took her past the NZ$1 million mark for the season already – and she’s poised to climb among the top-10 money winners in the history of the LPGA Tour. The Kiwi has also rocketed back into the world’s top 10 rankings for the first time since November 2017, climbing four place to sit at No.7. Ko has taken just five tournaments in 2021 to win NZ$1.11m, with her first victory in three years at the Lotte Championship earning her NZ$420,000.
