Jin Young Ko's sub-par record ends; will fight to make cut at Chevron Championship
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. – World No. 1 Jin Young Ko opened with her first over-par round in eight months to sit well off the pace on Day 1 of the Chevron Championship.
Ko carded a 2-over-par 74 on Thursday to end a record streak of 34 consecutive rounds under par, dating back to July. The two-time major champion pointed to her putting as the source of her struggles in Round 1, evidenced by the 34 putts she needed to get around Mission Hills Country Club.
“I couldn't see the break as much or speed, everything was wrong,” Ko said. “I don't know what happened.”
