Lydia Ko's “Fairy” wins did not cause a spark, according to 29 years LPGA Tour Pro after recent victory


Lydia Ko played the pinnacle of her career by 2024, winning various events this season. Ko experienced a week of fairy tales during which he won his first master's degree in eight years, the 2024 British Open of Women to St Andrews. But it seems that while that week it was one of the most important moments in LPGA history, it was not great enough to light the passion of Minjee Lee.

The tournament featured the best players like Nelly Korda, Lilia Vu, Jiyai Shin and Huning Yin, among others. Ko not only won this tournament with a total score of 7 under the par, but also won the Olympic gold one week before that and also introduced in the LPGA Hall of Fame One week ahead.

In the episode of June 28 of a podcast on the YouTube Fried Egg Golf channel, the 2025 KPMG Female PGA Championship The winner explained the situation. Lee described how Ko had a fantastic fairy story week, but his own season did not end well. She explained:

“It was the way I was for almost all this year. So I think, you know, you know, you did not do well, that really, you know, the British opening was a fairy for her. (H/T: 12:57)

Lee continued:

“So, you know, I am absolutely, so happy and so well deserved for Lydia, but I mean, I think seeing -doing this, did not cause anything in me. This is the total truth. And honestly, I didn't have a very good end of the seasons.”

To win the British Open of 2024, Lydia brought a total of $ 1.425 million, the richest tournament to date.
