Watch Lydia Ko bank this shot off Hannah Green’s ball for an improbable walk-off eagle

Not surprisingly after the emotional win, the 16th of her LPGA career, she was a little flat at last week’s Hugel-Air Premia LA Open, where she missed the cut after an opening 78 .

Ko shot rounds of 69-68 at Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore to hover toward the top of the leader board.

OK, it took her a little while to figure out what went on, and her reaction was a bit muted, but we’ll cut Ko some slack.

Meanwhile, before we start hearing any complaints for the “backboarding” crowd, Ko was playing from the fairway on the par-4 18th hole and can’t reasonable have asked her playing partner, Hannah Green, to go mark her ball.
