What we do know about Lydia Ko is that at 17, she’s a very talented and accomplished golfer (read: six professional wins). But there’s a lot about this teen that we don’t know, which is why I sat down with Ko to find out a little more about what she’s like off the golf course. Ko answered Twitter questions submitted by fans using the hashtag #AskLydia, and GolfChannel.com threw in a few additional questions of our own. View the video segment, and for more questions and answers, see the bonus content below.
