Leigh Smith
New Zealand’s Lydia Ko has won a bronze medal in the women’s Olympic golf tournament in Tokyo after a playoff against Mone Inami of Japan.
Ko, who won silver in the Rio Games in 2016, bogeyed the first playoff hole to miss out on a repeat performance.
She and Inami had come close to catching the American Nelly Korda, but she held on to finish 17 under par and win the gold after four rounds at Kasumigaseki Country Club in Saitama. Ko and Inami finished one shot behind on 16 under.
