Sports [LPGA] 리디아 고, 연장 접전 끝에 마라톤 클래식 우승…시즌 4승
2016.07.17 09:50
 세계랭킹 1위 리디아 고(19·뉴질랜드)가 미국여자프로골프(LPGA)투어 마라톤 클래식(총상금 150만달러)에서 연장 접전 끝에 우승을 차지했다.
리디아 고는 18일(한국시간) 미국 오하이오주 실베니아의 하이랜드 메도우 골프 클럽(파72·6512야드)에서 열린 대회 마지막 라운드에서 버디 4개와 보기 2개를 묶어 2언더파 70타를 쳤다. 최종합계 14언더파 270타로 이미림(26·NH투자증권), 아리야 주타누간(태국) 등과 공동 1위를 기록한 리디아 고는 연장 승부 끝에 우승 트로피를 들어 올렸다.
리디아 고는 이번 우승으로 시즌 4승에 성공, 주타누간(3승)을 제치고 시즌 다승 레이스 단독 선두로 치고 나갔다. 이번 우승은 리디아 고의 LPGA투어 통산 14승째다.
3라운드까지 선두 김효주(21·롯데)에 3타 뒤져있던 리디아 고는 4라운드 초반 무서운 상승세를 보였다. 2번홀(파3)에서 첫 버디를 잡은 뒤 4번홀(파4), 6번홀(파3), 9번홀(파4)에서 잇따라 버디를 추가했다. 그 사이 김효주가 주춤하면서 리디아 고는 단독 선두로 올라섰다.
하지만 후반 라운드에서 기세가 꺾였다. 리디아 고는 14번홀(파3)과 16번홀(파4)에서 보기를 범하면서 아쉬움을 남겼다. 리디아 고는 마지막 18번홀(파5)을 앞두고 이미림, 주타누간 등과 공동 선두를 유지하고 있었다. 그리고 18번홀에서 리디아 고가 파에 그치면서 승부는 연장으로 향했다.
18번홀(파5)에서 펼쳐진 연장전에서 세 선수는 첫 3번의 승부에서 나란히 파를 기록했다. 그리고 4번째 연장 홀에서 이미림과 주타누간이 고전한 사이 리디아 고는 버디를 기록, 승부에 마침표를 찍었다.

Lydia Ko outlasts Jutanugarn, Lee in Marathon playoff
July 17, 2016
SYLVANIA, Ohio (AP) — Lydia Ko outlasted Ariya Jutanugarn and Mirim Lee to win the Marathon Classic on Sunday for her fourth LPGA Tour victory of the season.
The top-ranked Ko made a 10-foot birdie putt on the fourth extra hole after Jutanugarn and Lee ran into trouble.
Also the 2014 winner, Ko closed with a 2-under 69 at Highland Meadows to match Jutanugarn and Lee at 14-under 270.
The 19-year-old New Zealander has 14 LPGA Tour titles, also winning consecutive events in South California — the second the major ANA Inspiration — and later in Arkansas. She's 4-1 in playoffs, with the loss coming to Brooke Henderson this year in the KPMG Women's PGA.
Ko missed a 5-footer birdie putt on the third extra hole, sending the trio back to the 18th tee for the final time. Jutanugarn had chances to win on the first two playoff holes, missing birdie putts of 14 and 8 feet.
Ko opened with rounds of 68, 66 and 67 to enter the day three strokes behind Hyo Joo Kim. Ko birdied three of the first six holes, while Kim had three bogeys on the stretch. Ko birdied the par-4 ninth, bogeyed the par-3 14th and 16th and finished with two pars.
Lee shot a 65, bogeying the 18th after making birdies on Nos. 13, 15, 16 and 17.
Jutanugarn had a 68, reaching 14 under with an eagle on 17. The long-hitting Thai player won three straight events in May.
Kim followed her third-round 64 with a 73 to finish a stroke back.
Stacy Lewis was fifth at 11 under after a 71. Born in the area, the Texan is winless in 56 starts since taking the North Texas LPGA Shootout in June 2014 for her 11th tour victory. She has 11 runner-up finishes during the drought and 24 overall.
Alison Lee, tied for second with Ko entering the round, had a 73 to fall into a tie for sixth with Beatriz Recari (68) at 10 under.
Brittany Lang, coming off a playoff victory over Anna Nordqvist in the U.S. Women's Open, had a 74 to tie for 24th at 3 under. Nordqvist also was 3 under after a 70.
.....
It was interesting to note that three Asiatic women were battling it out.
It took number 4 sudden death hole playoff to decide the winner.
They all seemed tired, and all had chances to win.
In the end it was Lydia who was able to maintain the higher level of concentration to the finish to claim the trophy.

Thanks for the comment! Dr. Lee!
Lydia Ko has been such a dominant player for past 2 years
and she won 5 times last year and 4 times this year so far.When she plays LPGA tournament,she almost always plays as
contender.Her records of Major this year was one win(ANA
Inspiration),one loss at playoff(KPMG Women's PGA Champion
ship),and one tie for 3rd(US Open).One other great golf news today was playoff loss of Si Woo
Kim(21)in Barbasol Championship of PGA. He also lost at 4th
playoff hole by Aaron Baddeley.Certainly Si Woo Kim is a promising young Korean male golfer.KJ

It is tough and even not fair somewhat to compare between
these 2 great golfers head to head,because of different
gender,era,and competition level.However
Both players are great enough to me considering one of the
greatest golfers in respective leagues by sure.Out of all stats above,number of wins in first 81 tournaments
(21 for Tiger and 14 for Lydia) might be most significant stat
to me.And also
Lydia has to prove a lot to become the level of other great
LPGA players like Annika Sorenstam and it could be a real good
chance to me in future. KJ
The rich gets richer!
World Rankings No.1 Lydia Ko won Marathon Classic of LPGA
at playoff with Mirim Lee and A.Jutanugarn. This win is her
14th LPGA win at tender age of 19 and 4th win this year.
Different players made stumblings in different times.Started
with Hyo Joo Kim,who was leader of 3 strokes after 54 holes,
but she made 3 boggies in 1st 6 holes and never recovered from it.
Lydia Ko made un-Lydia like mistakes in back 9,boggies at 14th
and 16th and ended up 3 way playoff,however her mental strength
made her champion again.
Let us give big hands to Champion Lydia Ko. KJ
