THIS WEEK IN GOLF TOKYO 2020 NZ ATHLETE UPDATE Ryan Fox saved his best till last, firing an incredible final round of 64 to climb the leaderboard and finish in a share of 42nd at Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Lydia Ko is well in the mix following the opening rounds of the women’s golf event at Tokyo 2020 held at Kasumigaseki Golf Club. Teeing it up at 11.41am alongside the Rio 2016 medalists Inbee Park and Shanshan Feng, Ko plotted her way around the course in one-under 70 to be in a share of 16th, four shots back of Sweden’s Madelene Sagström. With temperatures soaring upwards of 40 degrees celsius, Ko needed to play smart to avoid spending any extra energy. For the most Article and photos: golf.co.nz part, she managed the heat well.
