Lydia Ko gave her caddie an A+ this week. That's notable given that she had her husband, Jun Chung, on the bag for the first time at the Amundi Evian Championship.
"Would it be an A+ for other players? I'm not really sure," she said. "But obviously he can say some things that only a husband can say, and maybe not Paul for me on a week to week."
Ko set a goal of 6 under for the final round and did one better, matching the day's best of 64 on Sunday to finish in a share of seventh at 13 under, six shots back of winner Haeran Ryu. It marked her best finish on tour since March and followed a T-15 at the KPMG Women's PGA.
Watching Chung caddie, she said, made her appreciate more what her regular looper, Paul Cormack, does on a weekly basis.
When asked about Chung's best advice this week, Ko said it was more like an ultimatum.
