Golf-Ko wins Canadian Open for third time
Aug 23 (Reuters) - World number two Lydia Ko has held off a fast finishing Stacy Lewis and Ryu So-yeon to claim her third Canadian Pacific Women's Open and eighth LPGA title in a playoff in Vancouver on Sunday.
New Zealand's Ko could only muster an even-par-72 in the final round at Vancouver Golf Club to finish at 12-under-par, allowing Lewis to catch her after the American shot 67, but Ko prevailed in the opening hole of sudden death.
Lewis found trouble in the left rough and was unable to save par leaving Ko with a short putt to win the title for a third time, the first time as a professional having won back-to-back in 2012-13 as an amateur.
