June 12, 2022


Lydia Ko


Galloway, New Jersey, USA

Seaview, A Dolce Hotel

Quick Quotes


Q. Here with Lydia Ko coming off her final round at the ShopRite LPGA Classic presented by Acer.

Finished 10-under; tied for fourth now. Just take me through some of the highlights of the round today.

LYDIA KO: Yeah, I started off my front nine really well birdieing four of those first nine holes. I kind of lost momentum a little bit after bogeying 11 and 13.

It was nice to be able to finish on a high birdieing the last couple holes.

Q. I saw you just birdied No. 18 right out here. How do you like the Aon Risk Reward hole this week?

LYDIA KO: Yeah, they moved the tee forward yesterday and today so definitely made it more reachable. Luckily on the first day the wind was a little helping so you could reach it.

I personally like a par-5 finishing hole. I think it makes it very exciting, and obviously you can see even by Jodi eagling the last hole as well.

Yeah, I think it's great. It will be pretty cool to see the playoff as well.

Q. Speaking of Jodi and Albane, they were pretty good competition out there today. Did that make you play any better you think?

LYDIA KO: I think we all played really solid. None of us made like that big of a mistake, so it's nice when the whole group gets into good momentum. I really enjoyed their company as well.

Q. Being a veteran on tour, do you find you're still learning things about yourself and your game every tournament, or is it sort of just status quo and you just play well a lot?

LYDIA KO: I think like week in, week out you try and play consistently. I guess that's the goal. It is hard. I think the level of play and the level of talent on tour is really high, so to continuously play well and to win I think makes it extra difficult.

But I'm trying to focus on my game and see what else I can do better and kind of take it day by day.

Q. You like playing at ShopRite. You've played here a couple times. What is it you like about this tournament?

LYDIA KO: Yeah, I haven't played here that often. The nice thing about this golf course is that I think there are some shorter clubs in. I think even though it's a three-day event, like the scores can sometimes be really low, because there are some wedges hit compared to some other courses.

I like the three kind of birdieable holes coming in, I think that just makes for an exciting finish.
