Olympic champ Ko ends drought

Lydia Ko said she had enjoyed a "Cinderella" story after ending an eightyear wait for a Major title L by winning the Women's British Open at St. Andrews on Sunday, just a fortnight after her Olympic gold medal triumph in Paris.

The New Zealander finished in champion style with a superb birdie on the 18th hole of a windswept Old Course to complete a round of three-under-par 69 and claim her third Major title with a tournament total of seven-under.

"It is surreal," Ko told Sky Sports. "Winning the gold medal in Paris a few weeks ago was almost too good to be true. Heading into the weekend I thought 'how is it possible for me to win the Open?'.

"This is almost too good to be true. Out of all the Major championships, this was the one I had the least amount of confidence in."
