In the final round, the Korean scored a 5-under 66, finished the game with an 18-under score, leading the second-placed German Caroline Mason by 4 strokes.

This was her 14th consecutive round in the 1960s, tying the longest winning streak in the history of the Women’s Professional Golf Association (LPGA).

Annika Sorenstam-widely regarded as one of the greatest golfers in history-originally set this record 16 years ago in 2005.

The 10-time Grand Slam champion won three of four games in 14 consecutive rounds in the 1960s-including one major-and finished runner-up in another.

Ko’s compatriot Ryu So-yeon also broke records in 2016 and 2017.

However, after tying Sorenstam and enjoying the glory of victory—her third of the past six LPGA games—the world’s second-ranked person wants more.

“I still have a chance (to) beat Annika, and I will try to do my best,” she said.

Two years ago, Ko broke the Tiger Woods record of 110 consecutive holes without bogey, shocking the golf world.

In the season she won the first two majors, she played 114 consecutive holes but did not bogey, and then missed a seemingly simple three on the ninth hole of the Portland Classic in Cumbria. Feet putt.

“Now, everything is over,” Ko said in 2019. “I am free.”

The 15-time Grand Slam champion Woods initially set a record in 2000.
