On the second day of the event, Lydia posted a picture in her story with the caption, ‘Didn’t think I’d find my husband’s shrunken sock in my skirt pocket mid round today… Kept it all day to feel like he’s with me 🥺.‘ The former World No.1 appeared to be missing her husband on the greens in New Jersey. The picture highlighted a crumbled blue sock in her hand.

The New Zealand professional golfer in her previous interview mentioned how grateful she was for her husband. She believed that he would always be there to support her irrespective of the game results. She even added how her life partner, Jun Chung, has helped her by being by her side in her highs and lows.

Ko has a bad day on the greens

After making the cut, Lydia Ko started off the game, but not in the way she would have wanted. For round two, she shot the ball for a bogey on the second hole, however, was able to make a birdie on the next one. Overall, she didn’t have an ideal game and scored more than three bogeys. Even though there were five birdies made by the star, she would have wanted to be in a better position on the leaderboard.

Amidst the underwhelming performance, Lydia found a way to remind herself of her happy place. The story she shared sure held huge sentimental value for the LPGA Star. What do you think of the romantic gesture from the Kiwi golfer? Let us know in the comments below!
