Olympic champion and Women’s British Open winner Lydia Ko has reiterated her plans to retire from professional golf before turning 30, despite recent victories. The 27-year-old golfer says her success in Paris and St. Andrews won’t change her desire to leave the game while still playing well, prioritizing other interests.
Australian golfer Minjee Lee holds a one-shot lead after the first round of the ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open, shooting a 5-under 67 despite challenging weather conditions. Lydia Ko, fresh off her Olympic gold medal, battled through the rain and wind to card a 69, while other notable players like A Lim Kim and Megan Khang were also in contention.
