On Sunday, Ko won the Volunteers of America Classic in Texas with a final score of 16-under 268.
It was her eighth victory of her career in the LPGA.
It was also her first in seven months and came just a week after she lost her world number-one ranking to American Nelly Korda.

She’s the third South Korean to win on the LPGA Tour this year, following Park In-bee and Kim Hyo-joo.
All three will be representing South Korea in the Tokyo Olympics.
