Lydia Ko sets tournament record to win Lotte Championship at 28-under-par

KAPOLEI, Hawaii -- Lydia Ko is golfing like she is a kid again. In other words, she's tough to beat.

No one came close at this week's Lotte Championship. Ko torched Kapolei Golf Club and tournament records in the process. A final-round 65 Saturday left her at 28-under 260 and seven shots ahead of everybody.

It brought back vivid memories of the teenager from New Zealand who became the youngest golfer -- female or male -- to rise to No. 1 the world in 2015. She is the LPGA's youngest-ever winner, major winner, Rookie and Player of the Year.
