Lydia Ko cruises to five-shot victory at the Aramco Saudi Ladies International
JEDDAH — Lydia Ko shot a final day 65 to romp to a five-shot victory at the $1million Aramco Saudi Ladies International presented by PIF.The former world No. 1 picked-up where she left off a day earlier, birding the first as her week’s assault on Royal Greens Golf & Country Club resumed — one that had put her into a commanding four-stroke lead heading into Sunday’s closing round.Not one to let up, the New Zealander cruised to a bogey-free seven-under-par, taking her total for the week to -23, five shots clear of second-placed Atthaya Thitikul of Thailand.“When I was out there I was just trying to play the best golf I can,” said Ko, whose win was her second this season, following a four-year drought.“I knew a lot of the top names were playing well and this is a golf course...

JEDDAH — A course-record equaling 63 from Lydia Ko has the New Zealander in firm control heading into the final day of the $1million Aramco Saudi Ladies International presented by PIF.The former world No. 1 carded five birdies on both the front and back nine at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club to lead by four with one round to play.Sitting at -16, the 24-year-old will look to hold off a final day push from Thailand’s Atthaya Thitikul, whose scintillating 65 propelled her into lone second.England’s Alice Hewson sits two further back on -10, with Spaniards Carlota Ciganda and Nuria Iturrioz both on -9.“I played really solid today,” said Ko, who tied Australian Steph Kyriacou’s record low round at Royal Greens. “I missed a short putt for par on three and then went on a stretch...

England’s Hewson storms into halfway lead at the Aramco Saudi Ladies International
JEDDAH — England’s Alice Hewson stormed to an eight-under-par 64 to lead at the halfway point of the Aramco Saudi Ladies International presented by PIF.The 24-year-old carded six birdies on the back nine to come home in 30, a scintillating return that shaved three strokes off her career best Ladies European Tour round and put her top of the pile with two rounds remaining in King Abdullah Economic City.Hertfordshire-born Hewson said: “I really enjoyed my day today. It didn’t really feel like a 64. I just played every shot as it came and I putted really well. I think I only had 22 putts, so that really helps on these greens.“I didn’t really put too much pressure on myself. I didn’t drive the best. I was in the rough a little bit more than I might’ve liked but I was actually...
