Tuesday, 1 May 2018 07:00

Former world number one Lydia Ko has won her first tournament in two years.

The 21-year-old New Zealander beat Minjee Lee in a play-off at the Mediheal Championship in California, for her first victory since 2016.

She birdied the last for a one-under-par 71 to finish 12 under alongside Australian Lee, who had birdied her final two holes.

Ko then holed a three-foot eagle putt on the first play-off hole, the par-five 18th, to take the victory.

England's Charley Hull tied for third place, finishing on eight under par.
