Teenage golf phenom Lydia Ko has made history again at the CN Canadian Women’s Open.
The 16-year-old from New Zealand shot a final round six-under-64 to win by five strokes over Karine Icher at the Royal Mayfair Golf Club.
Ko became the youngest winner of an LPGA event last year, when she won the Canadian Open in Vancouver at age 15.
With this victory she becomes the first amateur in history to win two LPGA events.
Ko started the day one shot back, but shredded the course with five birdies on the front nine and never looked back.
As an amateur, she cannot accept the $300,000 first prize, so it will go to Icher.
