Will Lydia Ko’s historic Evian win receive the attention it deserves?

Lydia Ko has no green jacket to show off at her alma mater as the marching band spells out her name on the gridiron. She sports no rainbow-colored hair or pink hightop golf shoes to kick around in on the fairways. She wears no oversized, neon orange, flying saucer-shaped golf cap.

Ko may not garner the headlines reserved for Jordan Spieth, Michelle Wie or Rickie Fowler. But the LPGA Tour star can claim something that none of her flashier peers will ever own.

While you were finalizing your fantasy football lineup, Ko’s six-shot romp over Lexi Thompson Sunday at the Evian Championship made her the youngest player in the modern era to capture a grand slam event. In addition to becoming the youngest woman to win a major, Ko is the most youthful major champion since Young Tom Morris took the Open Championship in 1868.

Hours after the Texas Longhorns honored reigning Masters champ Spieth, and Oklahoma State celebrated Fowler’s Deutsche Bank Championship victory, Ko fired a flawless final round 8-under 63 to cruise to the Evian triumph on the scenic shores of Lake Geneva in the French Alps.

“To say that I’m the youngest in history for now, it’s so cool,” Ko said after making a 15-foot birdie putt on the last hole to put an exclamation point on her 16-under week. “It’s amazing that I can leave my name I guess a little bit in the history books.”

Golf Channel yakkers wondered if Ko’s impressive victory would capture the imagination of the sporting public. Matt Adams, for one, believed it warranted superstar treatment but feared it would receive far less than that.

“You have to ask the question, in fairness, if this had been another athlete other than Lydia Ko, would this be top of the fold front page,” said the GC contributor after Ko’s impressive cakewalk into history. “This is absolutely a massive story in the game of golf and in ... sport.”

Ko, who entered the finale two shots off the lead and was down by three to Thompson through seven holes, has made a career of shattering age-related marks.

At 14, Ko became the youngest player ever to win a professional event when she prevailed at the New South Wales Open. She was the youngest tour winner at 15, and at 17, the youngest man or woman to ascend to the No. 1 ranking in the world.

So what’s next for the winner of four tour events in 2015? Most immediately, the South Korean-born New Zealander will take some time off before the start of the Asian swing in three weeks. Longer term, she has set her sights on a gold medal next year in Rio.

“I really want to be playing in the Olympics,” she said. “To play for your country on the international stage, it’s an amazing experience ... That is one of my big goals.”
