Although she had an impressive year behind her, Lydia Ko, a 27-year-old New Zealander, has equally strong motivations to succeed this year as well. During the second day of the HSBC Women's World Championship, the popular golfer showed her superiority and managed to make a great result.

Namely, Ko is now the leader of this competition, with a one stroke advantage, while Charley Hull is in second place, with one stroke less.
Lydia Ko is known as a golfer who does not give up so easily, as she showed this time as well.
In a conversation with the press, the great golfer admitted that she has more fun on golf courses than before, but primarily she does not want to deviate from the game she had last year. The 27-year-old is aware that last year's performances are a recipe for success.
"I'm definitely having more fun," Ko said, as quoted by The News & Observer, "and in ways, I feel like I'm in a position where I can go for things and try new things and obviously not veer of what was good from last year. But I think it is a little bit of a different mindset."

Lydia Ko shares her goals
The famous golfer revealed that she still has the goals she set for herself, striving to compete as much as possible. Although some aim to be in the top 3, 5 or 10, Ko has never been satisfied with anything other than winning. If she wins this tournament, it will also be her 23rd LPGA Tour title.
"Yeah, I still have goals, and while I'm still playing. I want to play the best golf I can and contend as much as I can. There's no better feeling than being the person that's hoisting the trophy at the end of Sunday."- Ko concluded.
