'Drive On' carries double meaning for Lydia Ko who pens message to her 15-year-old self

Lydia Ko raced to a lot of records as one of the greatest teen phenoms ever.

Youngest to win an LPGA title at 15.

Youngest to ascend to world No. 1 at 17.

Youngest to win a women’s major at 18.

Youngest to win the Rolex Player of the Year Award, also at 18.

Over the years, however, she has enjoyed poking fun at herself, reminding us that when it came to driving, she wasn’t exactly a prodigy. By driving, we mean operating an automobile, but she had some big news for media Thursday in a conference call, set up to celebrate the release of the LPGA’s newest “Drive On” installment.
