Lydia Ko reshares Instagram post to give major Mizuho Americas Open update
Lydia Ko posted a huge Mizuho Americas Open update on her latest Instagram post. The Mizuho Americas Open will take place from May 8-11 at the Liberty National Golf Club and boast a purse of $3 million. The tournament will feature eight of the world's top 10-ranked players, and Ko is one of them.
Lydia Ko, ranked third in the world according to the Rolex rankings, confirmed on her Instagram story that she'll play in the upcoming LPGA event. She reshared a post by Mizuho Americas Open’s Instagram page showing her picture in a banner. The initial post contained a caption that confirmed Ko’s entry to the event.
“Add @lydsko to the list- @libertynationalgc is going to be electric this year,” the caption read.
Nelly Korda won the tournament last year. She said after the triumph (via ASAP Sports):
“Oh, my gosh, six, I can't even really gather myself right now with that, the head to head that Hannah and I had pretty much all day. Wasn't my best stuff out there today, but fought really hard on the back nine. It was just amazing to share the stage with Hannah. I consider her a pretty good friend out here and it was a lot of fun going head-to-head against her.”
Nelly Korda won the tournament with 14 under last year, and she was one shot ahead of Hannah Green, who was in second place.
