Ko’s “youngest to” accolades kept piling up as a professional. In 2015, her second full season on the LPGA, she won five times, including the Evian Championship.

In fact, she’s the second-youngest player to win a major in all of golf, bested only by Young Tom Morris at the 1868 British Open Championship at age 17.
