SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France — Lydia Ko has an Olympic medal worth more than its weight in gold. The Kiwi held on to win the women's golf competition at Le Golf National by two shots. That completes her collection of Olympic medals. And the gold gave her the point she needed to become the 35th member of the LPGA Hall of Fame. Ko won the silver medal in Rio de Janeiro and the bronze in Tokyo. This was closer than it needed to be. She led by five shots in the 13th fairway. Esther Henseleit of Germany won the silver and Xiyu Lin of China captured bronze.
