Ko reveals plan to 'channel inner Foxy' in push for more major glory

Lydia Ko, the New Zealand golfer, aims to 'channel her inner Foxy'—inspired by compatriot Ryan Fox's dramatic victory at The Open—as she prepares for the AIG Women's Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes. Fox became the third New Zealand men's major champion with a one-shot win at Royal Birkdale, a moment that moved Ko to tears. Ko, a 29-year-old multiple major winner, seeks her fourth major title and second AIG Women's Open victory. She admitted the course is the toughest Women's Open she has ever played. Ko missed cuts in the first two majors of 2026 but has since recovered with top-15 and top-10 finishes. She will play alongside Nelly Korda and Haeran Ryu in the opening rounds.
