Intro:

Lydia Ko had her final warm-up Wednesday (10 June) for this week's KPMG Women's PGA Championship (11-14 June) at the Westchester Country Club in Harrison, New York.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Lydia Ko:

"Yeah, when they said you're going to be world No. 1, I said, this could be like a one-week deal and I'm back down again. But it's pretty amazing that I'm still world No. 1 right now, and really one of the biggest highlights was when I was playing the National Open. I was able to play in front of the big fans, and I was at that time world No. 1. Yeah, it's been a whole lot of fun. But when we're playing out there, we're not thinking about the rankings. We're just enjoying ourselves and trying to make as many birdies as we can."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Lydia Ko:

"It's pretty awesome, especially when I get linked up with people like Annika or Tiger Woods. I've always seen them in magazines, on TV and like this week, yesterday I got to see Annika. It's so awesome. I'm playing alongside some of my role models and I feel so fortunate that I can be out here as an 18-year old. I've always got to thank the 'Commish' for that, too.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Lydia Ko: Q. Really the only thing missing from your resumé at this point is the major championship.

"Yeah, I was wondering why that question page 1 of 4 didn't come up (laughing). I don't feel like I'm a perfectionist but people say I have that kind of a personality. So sometimes even though it might be good, I try and force it a little bit. Weeks like ANA, I kind of tried so hard and tried to force some good scores and I tried to force everything, and that's when I didn't play as good, and I think that's what's kind of happened the last couple weeks. So I think one of the big things is really self-pressure. I've been talking to David Niethe, talking to David and Sean and trying to just enjoy the moment, and that's all I can do. I can't think about the past and I can't think about what's coming."
