Lydia Ko qualified for the LPGA Hall of Fame in the most epic way. While many sports Halls of Fame are decided in boardrooms and over ballots, LPGA players literally play their way in. No room for opinions.
Ko entered the final round of the Paris Olympics needing a victory in France to clinch the last point needed to reach the 27-point requirement. She finished it off in style, winning by two to collect her third different Olympic medal, having won silver in 2016 and bronze in 2021.
What did it take for the once-prodigious Kiwi to etch her name into one of the toughest Halls in all of sports? Nothing short of a whole lot of history.
