Fans are happy for Lydia Ko and her husband
Although Ko has been in a relationship with Chung for quite some time, she has never been open about their relationship. However, the golf world knew she would get married in December after The Korean Herald revealed her engagement news and the wedding date through an article in July this year.
Notably, the 2-time major champion also revealed that she would get married soon during the press conference at the CME Group Tour Championship, which she won with Jun Chung cheering for her on the sidelines. Hence, it was no surprise for her fans when updates about her wedding started to spread on December 30 from Korea. And they were happy for her.
Congrats Lydia & Jun! Hope you have many years of wedded bliss & a few birdies along the way 💍⛳️
