Ko doubles up on title

KIWI world No. 1 Lydia Ko has won her second New Zealand Women’s Open title in three years with a fourshot victory at Clearwater Golf Club in Christchurch yesterday.

Ko finished at 14-underpar, with 18-year-old Australian amateur Hannah Green outright second.

West Australian Green produced an outstanding final round of four-under, going three shots better than Ko on the final day. Nanna Koertsz Madsen, of Denmark, finished third, one stroke behind Green.
