Nelly Korda chases a second major victory and seventh LPGA Tour title of the year; Defending champion Lilia Vu and England’s Charley Hull both in contention at St Andrews; Watch throughout the weekend live on Sky Sports Golf
Lydia Ko ended her eight-year major drought by coming through a star-studded leaderboard to claim a dramatic victory in the AIG Women’s Open at St Andrews, writes Sky Sports’ Ali Stafford.
The former world No 1 overturned a three-stroke deficit during the final round at the iconic Old Course, mixing four birdies with a lone bogey – in wet and breezy conditions – to close a stunning final-round 69 and set the clubhouse target.
Overnight leader Jiyai Shin, defending champion Lilia Vu and world No 1 Nelly Korda all had chances to catch Ko over the closing stretch but were unsuccessful, as the Olympic gold medallist finished two shots clear and secured a first major win since the 2016 Chevron Championship.
