Lydia Ko talks Women's PGA, Olympics and Zika

  • World No. 1 Lydia Ko played in a pro-am and held a press conference on Tuesday, 7 June - two days before the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.

    SOUNDBITE (English): Lydia Ko, World No. 1:

    "I think the key for everybody is probably to hit it in the fairway. It's going to be hard if you're hitting out of the rough or in the trees because it's hard enough because there's trees everywhere. So, you know, you've got to hit the fairway, first of all. And even if you hit the fairway, you need to position yourself on the right side of the fairway. But you need to be creative here. Sometimes you are going to probably miss a fairway. Maybe not if you have Mo Martin stats, but it's going to be tough but challenging. And you can be really creative out here. And I think it will be a very deserving winner at the end of the week."

    SOUNDBITE (English): Lydia Ko, World No. 1:

    "To be honest I'm more excited, you know, about the Olympics, about the ceremony, about just being in that Olympic vibe than worrying about the Zika virus. There are so many experts that are taking care of all that. We've got a great team of people that are doing it that. And obviously there is a vaccination. I think everybody is taking care of it. So for us it's more important that we enjoy it and we're excited about it. And to all the girls that I've talked to, that's kind of the response. We're all excited to go to Brazil and represent our countries and be there amongst the other Olympians. It's unfortunate with what's happening with the Zika. We all trust the people that are taking care of it. We've just got to trust them and it's in their hands now.
