LYDIA KO WINS 2023 ARAMCO SAUDI LADIES INTERNATIONAL

The New Zealander headed into the final day in second place, just one shot off the lead, having shot rounds of 64, 69 and 66 on the first three days.

It was a good start for the world number one with a birdie on the first, before a dropped shot on the second but she soon picked up another birdie on the sixth.

Three more birdies on her back nine was enough for Ko to seal victory with a total of 21-under-par. "I'm two for two on this golf course," said Ko. "Clearly something is going for me! This is a golf course where, in the last few days and when I played in 2021, there were a few players that went from the back that would shoot low scores, so I just wanted to focus on my game.
