22-year-old Jin Young Ko’s interview after the 2nd round of DIO Implant LA Open has left everyone in splits. The golfer started the round impressively with five birdies in eight holes, and hopes to keep the momentum going.

Earlier this month, Jin Young Ko beat World No. 2, Nelly Korda, to defend her HSBC Women’s World Championship title successfully. The golfer is currently competing at the Palos Verdes Golf Club for a chance to win the LA Open tournament.

It is evident from her post-round interview that the World No. 3 is not a fan of the weather in LA. Her complaint has now incited hilarious reactions from her fans.
