Despite Being Met With a Disappointing Slump, Lydia Ko Continues to Keep a Smile on Her Face Through ‘Fun’ Ways

LPGA star Lydia Ko had a remarkable 2022, achieving the top-ranking position in the world. She was the winner of the CME Group Championship and a recipient of the Rolex Player of the Year Award.

Even after a gloomy year, fans remain steadfast in their support and cheer for Ko. The golfer shares her life stories with her fans from time to time through her Instagram. In her recent story, we saw Lydia enjoying her trip to Korea.

The Kiwi golfer was off to a steadfast beginning in 2023 when she won the Aramco Saudi Ladies International and stood 6th on the leaderboard for the Honda LPGA Thailand in February. 

The trouble started when she could not make the cut for the Chevron Championship. She tied at 57th for the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, finishing at 6-over-par, and tied at 33rd for the US Open. The AIG Women’s Open was a failure yet again. The Kroger Queen Championship resulted in her tied at 41st with seven others.  

However, the champion is not backing away and showing world-class resilience. She occasionally gives her fans a sneak peek into her life. In a recent Instagram story, Ko shared her days spent in Korea.

Participating in an event in the island country, the golfer was flexing her workout. Sharing the same on her Instagram story, Ko said, “Fun way to start my trip to Korea.” 

As the champion she is, Ko knows how to get out of the slump. A workout session is every athlete’s favourite free time which can instantly clear the mind.
