Lydia Ko is not a member of the LPGA. She became the youngest winner in LPGA Tour history, eclipsing the previous mark set by Lexi Thompson, who was 16 years, 7 months, 8 days when she won the 2011 Navistar LPGA Classic. Ko is the the top-ranked amateur in the world and reigning U.S. Women’s Amateur champion.

The victory is her second win at a professional event in 2012. She won the New South Wales Open on the Australian LPGA (ALPG) in January to become the youngest winner in history on a professional golf tour at the age of 14 years, 9 months and 5 days. That record was broken in June by Brooke Henderson at a CN Canadian Women’s Golf Tour 36-hole tournament.

Qualifies to represent the CN Canadian Women’s Open at the season-ending CME Group Titleholders

The CN Canadian Women’s Open is Ko’s third LPGA tournament in 2012 following the ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Open (T19) and the U.S. Women’s Open (T39 – low amateur).
