Ko on top of the world

Lydia Ko has reclaimed the world No 1 spot in the women’s golf rankings for the first time since 2017 after a stunning year on the LPGA Tour. Ko last week won the CME Group Tour Championship – her third win of the year to go with nine top-five finishes. It was her first multiple-winning year since 2016. Ko replaces American Nelly Korda in the top spot – the third time the New Zealander has reached the summit of the women’s game.
