In 2014, she won the Nefs Masterpiece which was her very first win after going professional. Following that, in 2015 she came 2^nd at the Ricoh Women’s British Open and won the 2017 LPGA KEB Hana Bank Championship.

Currently, Jy Ko has had one win at the HSBC Women’s World Championship and one very poor game in the 2022 season. Although the loss isn’t ideal, we believe she will pick it back up in no time at all and we look forward to watching it happen!

She is currently ranked number two in the world and I have no doubt that Jy Ko will do everything in her power to either improve that status or maintain it.
