Lydia Ko Becomes Youngest #1 in LPGA History

Looks like the LPGA is using a pretty flattering image of Lydia. I like it! Nice to see her without her glasses on, and I almost didn't recognize her.

Seriously… that doesn't even look like her.

I must admit the picture looks like another person.  But, she's still playing like last year's Ko.

Makes her look much older than she actually is.

I followed her around part of Friday a couple of years ago when she won the Canadian Women's Open at 15 years old. It was pretty impressive how consistent she was.

I was impressed that every player was hitting a nice easy 250 yard drive right in the middle of the fairway. Danielle Kang's mom told me that that was because it was Friday with players being conservative to try to make the cut.

I saw her in the last round of Swinging Skirt Tourney last year in SF.   Stacy and Lydia was involved in nail biting finish for the win.   I was extremely impressed how nonchalant she appeared to be.  She displayed amazing composure down the stretch for her age (then barely 17) and won it.   Her father was a nervous wreck running around from hole to hole, watching her every move from the stands.
