Lydia Ko (New Zealand), who won a silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics and a bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, finally won the gold medal at the Paris Olympics.
On the 11th (Korea time), he recorded a 1-under 71 with four birdies, one bogey and one double bogey in the final fourth round at Le Golf Nashonal (par 72) in Giancourt, near Paris, France, and won the title by two strokes with a 10-under 278 total. He became the first golfer to win the Olympic gold, silver, and bronze medals and to qualify for the LPGA Hall of Fame.
Vice Chairman Chung said on social media that `One of the family members played the most important game in their lives. He was so serious about his work that he followed with respect today. I never imagined that I would be able to support athletes who are not Korean nationals in the Olympics this much. The New Zealand cheering squad, which does not know the background, treats our Asians who support their athletes ^^He posted a picture right after his daughter-in-law won the championship.
