Lydia Ko returns to world No. 1

MIAMI: New Zealand's Lydia Ko is atop the women's golf world rankings for the third time in her career, regaining the No. 1 spot on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) a week after her LPGA Tour Championship triumph.

Ko, who first reached number one in 2015, passed American Nelly Korda, who had moved atop the rankings on November 14 after a one-stroke victory at the Pelican Women's Championship.
